I would imagine June 4th is the "published" date, but they usually extend a weekend or 2 after if the snow and crowds are still there.

It depends on snow melt. They had a big wet slide from undermining several years ago that killed someone on Pali. They instituted more restrictive observation practices now. It often closes with a lot of snow still in it

Yup it did last year in May when they closed it. So far it has been clod enough but it will warm up.

A-Basin reporting 21" the last 24 hours. Pali Chair and terrain are opening today through Sunday. Potentially longer if snow pack is stable.

This should help to keep A Basin open well into June. But it will melt! Right now skiing is like mid winter. But what do I know - boots not on the ground today.
