Thanks to the Snow Gods, a record-breaking snow year hit Utah this winter which means only one thing for the spring riding. Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort is aiming to extend weekend winter operations through the Fourth of July, conditions permitting (of course). This would mark the third time in the resort’s history the season has closed on July 4, matching the 1995 and 2005 record. The extension would also mark 202 days of skiing at Snowbird this season, surpassing the 2005 record of 201 ski days.

The resort has received a year-to-date total of over 760 inches of snowfall, beating the average annual snowfall by well over 250 inches, and breaking the previous snowfall record set in 1984 by 72 inches. Daaaaang.

Only downside is lift tickets are not cheap, as the resort is still charging $64 bucks a pop, but in my opinion, well worth the winter fix when it comes to being able to ride in June! I have taken full advantage of the extended season and plan to ride all the way through the 4th, hope to see you there!
