Looks like a fun day.  Must be a mini-Bell there ripping the steeps.

In years like this, perhaps more ski areas will re-evaluate their early closures.  I have skied a few late season days this year at Snowbird, Kirkwood & Squaw.  All of them had good business even on days when the conditions were less than ideal.

I love the flexion in that photo.  Looks like it was a spectacular weekend.  I was in SLC for my daughter's graduation from Westminster College, but was unable to partake of skiing because I'm on the disabled list.  Good to know that someone had a great time!

JTBC, my time was great, it just wasn't skiing.

To be fair, the line (in the photo) was big at 10am because the opening had been delayed due to avy control. An hour or so later, it was pretty much dissipated.

Hey it shows there is viable interest in skiing beyond the traditional cut off dates, even if for shorter hours or weekend operation, so much great snow just gets wasted....  Its painful to see webcams of fresh just sitting there......
