Really? Man, that's pretty disappointing. I was hoping to go this weekend and be able to have top-to-bottom skiing and not have to take my board off.

If they do any grooming, I would suspect they will try and snow bridge that gap.

That section melted fast. There was still a good amount of snow there on Sunday afternoon.

Once the ground starts to appear it spreads quickly - then add runoff!

They dumped a few hay bales on it Sunday morning to try and absorb some of the water to slow the melt off.

Will 4 days straight of skiing Superstar take it down? Key has been no rain to undermine the snow. I'm curious how it looks come Tuesday.

It appears that they fixed the breach in Superstar looking at the webcam this morning.

I would hope so. I kind of figured they would move snow around to allow top-to-bottom boarding/skiing for this weekend. Or as much of the weekend as they can.

Catsup948 is on site and about to start hiking for turns---just sent me this pic...I'm sure he will comment later on how it is

6/1 gonna be tight! Looks like some 70s weather coming back.

Though usually in June you always had to hike down the headwall and to the lift at the bottom anyway. I think they can do it if they choose. There still is a good amount of snow to move around.

Pretty cool that they will have lift served continuous skiing on Memorial Day weekend. I realize that was a regular thing back in the day, but its a new to me concept that I didn't know anything about until 2008

chuckstah · May 21, 2015

Memorial day will be the last regular season day, with the lift also spinning on June first with free lift tickets, if there is anything left to ski. According to k conditions update. Memorial day will be free for veterans.

Superstar was sweet today. Due to time constraints I only made it about halfway up, did a lap and then went a 1/4 the way up. Bumps were nice and supple. Not a zipper line by any means, maybe higher up, but they were a lot of fun to ski. Glad I made it out briefly for my first time in May. Seven straight months. I'm may have to get out in June just because I have too!

This is smart. There is no snow at the chair. They are really going to have to move snow around to load it. There still is a a lot of snow in places. Likely it sticks around for week or so into June. The big bare spot in the middle is real and looks like they are just going to try to band aid it closed as much as they can. With the heavy traffic this weekend it be a very large bare spot by Monday night. June 1st will be a bit of hiking I'm sure, but hey for free who cares?

skiNEwhere · May 21, 2015

They should have some crazy promo that you ski for free if you carry two bucketfuls of snow from an adjacent trail. Hey, ever bit helps.

chuckstah · May 21, 2015

Most likely they will leave it as is. Toss some hay bales, or a few barrels of snow near the loading area and you walk from the end of the snow to the lift. If there is a ramp off the top you put skis on and ski all the way down. If no ramp at the top you carry skis onto the chair, and walk to the snow at the top. This was always standard practice "back in the day".

Still a crap load of snow considering the weather we've had. Warmest early May I can remember. It's pretty much been 65-75+ and sunny almost every single day this month. Drought conditions
