Confirmed.
Tomorrow might be our last day. The little one really wants to ski more, but the end is nigh.
Thinking of just lapping McConkey's via Georgiana and Powder Monkey if it's safe.
McConkeys will be fine its high up and doesn’t get cooked by the sun. The top ridge of Georgeanna might be getting rough though just watch for rocks peaking out.

If it's decent tomorrow we'll probably go Saturday too. Georgeanna's a pretty great trail for little kids & if there are slush bumps to be had in the bowl there or in Molly's woods or the Black Forest it might exceed my (very) low expectations.

I thought you were going to Breck again, no?

Had planned on the same trip we did last year (a day each at BC & Vail, and then 3 days at Breck), but there's really no point.
Colorado's had even less snow than Park City (which is hard to believe) and only like 1/2 to 2/3 the base even with their higher elevation.

Colorado today Spring bumps garnished with broccoli
Alta Bird skied well today. Plenty of coverage still. Be careful on Powder Paradise and Road to Provo/Mark Malu as there is a lot of rocks and debris that have been tilled up by the groomers. Kind of annoying.
Alta started out pretty firm. I crossed over to Snowbird pretty early--Lower Mineral was already soft. Baldy side was softening. I was surprised that the front side was relatively soft and there were few areas that were groomed FG or ice. By about 11 things had softened from the base of Little Cloud down.
I hit Blue By You in Mineral about noon or so. It was just past perfect, but still fun. I did three runs on Baldy side before heading back to Alta and that side was also just slightly past perfect but still fun.
Lots of the stuff at Alta that are not runs or groomed areas were closed.
Not crazy busy at either area. Lots of folks visiting from back east.
Subaru Winterfest at Snowbird this weekend.

Do you think it can last the next 3 or 4 days? If Alta "survives", I might buy those $25 Sunnyside tix they do for like 1.5 hours.
My little one really doesn't want the ski season to end yet. LOL
it will.

Solitude
With free parking
So $204 for a day of skiing for the 3 of us, or I wonder if I can become someone's IKON friend in the parking lot & make it $102?.
If winter returns I'm gonna' do that and extend the season another day. lol The the Alta $25 thing another day. Maybe I can cobble some extra days. It would be nice if Snowbird or Brighton did something too, but I'm not holding my breath on Snowbird.
