Resort officials said that snow conditions and depths are the best they’ve been all season, with more snow since March 21 than fell in all of February.
“We’ve had a bunch lately, we got four more inches (Monday), enough to make us confident in announcing our first two bonus weekends,” Brundage Mountain Resort communication director April Russell said. “ And if we continue to get more snow than what we’ve seen, we’ll continue to extend our weekends beyond April if that’s possible.”
People can expect discounted prices on the bonus weekends, now set for April 17 and 18, and April 24 and 25.
“One of the things that makes the bonus weekends so exciting is regionally most of the ski resorts are closing, down so we have the chance to not only draw local skiers, but the diehard skiers from farther away who aren’t ready to quit,” Russell said.
According to the Web site for Bogus Basin Mountain Recreation Area, the resort plans to close on Sunday, with activities scheduled including a PBR ribbon hunt, spring kids’ scavenger hunt, and more. The resort on Tuesday reported a base snow depth of 71 inches, with 87 inches at the top.
At Sun Valley Resort, the 74th winter season will continue through April 18 on Bald Mountain, according to a recent press release. The final day for Seattle Ridge and The Bowls is set for Sunday.
Dollar Mountain operations concluded Easter Sunday.
Sun Valley reported 81 inches at the summit of Bald Mountain on Tuesday, with 23 inches at the base.
