Ski resort closing dates? Why?
Utah's ski resorts have been getting some of the biggest dumps of the season in the past few weeks. Resorts in Little Cottonwood are claiming 115 inches of new snow in the last two weeks and 626 inches this winter!
But because you can't always count on the spring snow and because tourists rightly don't plan their big ski trips in April, some of the resorts have already closed and others will turn off the lifts soon. No worries, Snowbird officials expect to be running well through Memorial Day and Park City just extended its season by another week. The best part is that most of the resorts are offering discounted spring prices.
Here's a list of closing dates from Ski Utah!
Alta Ski Area- April 19
Beaver Mountain- closed
Brian Head- April 12
Brighton Resort- April 19
The Canyons Resort- April 12
Deer Valley Resort-April 12
