Snowbird, Utah - Skiers and snowboarders who aren't quite ready to put the
gear away for summer can keep turning at Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort.
Continuing a tradition of the longest ski season in Utah, Snowbird will
remain open for spring skiing and riding through Sunday, May 11,
conditions
permitting. Utah's only ski resort still open, Snowbird is offering
discounted lift tickets through the remainder of the season.
"April has always been a strong snowfall month for Snowbird and this year
is
no different," said Snowbird President Bob Bonar. "The current conditions
provide for terrific skiing and riding all over the mountain."
The Tram, Mineral Basin Express, Gadzoom, Little Cloud, Wilbere and
Chickadee chairlifts are open for skiing and riding through Sunday, May 4
and lift tickets are $35. Additionally, skiers and snowboarders who
present
their current season pass from another resort are eligible for half-price
lift tickets at Snowbird through May 4.
Monday, May 5, will bring spring skiing and riding on the Little Cloud
chairlift by way of the Tram from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. At this time the lift
ticket will be reduced to $25. Skiing and riding continues on Little Cloud
Chairlift via the Tram through Sunday, May 11, at which point snow
conditions will determine if Snowbird's winter season will be extended.
