Saturday I headed up for one last day of spring skiing. Conditions were awesome. It sounded a little icy on the front side, so we headed straight for the tunnel and Mineral Basin. The snow back there was a little crunchy but softened up quickly.
(Salt Lake City from Snowbird.)
After a bunch of runs on the back side, we stopped for a quick snack, then decided to ski the front. By the afternoon, things were nice and soft everywhere, but not too slow or sticky. Just about perfect.
(The ridge over to the tram.)
Later in the afternoon, we hiked up Baldy but were greeted by a rope telling us the chutes were closed. Shoot! Oh well, I'll have to hike up sometime this summer and ski them then. :)
(Bummer.)
Anyhow. Not bad at all for skiing in May. The coverage was incredible -- no bare spots at all. And most of the mountain was still open. It looks like they will go to weekends only but be open into June if you want to go. Check out www.snowbird.com.
'til later,
