Overview
- The park closed tubing, the beginner ski hill, and the terrain park weeks ahead of the usual early April timeline because natural snow ran short.
- Managers said crews spent much of the season making and moving snow, even scraping nearby areas, yet sustained high temperatures made that effort unsustainable.
- The park plans a short lift-served sledding option into early April and will push out remaining snow to stretch limited skiing and lessons in the Powder Playground with discounted tickets.
- Staff described late-day slush and puddles at base areas that slowed tubes and made access harder for guests, prompting on-the-fly run adjustments.
- Local outlets reported a broader Summit County shift to spring, with businesses pivoting to hiking and biking as bike rentals replace typical spring break ski demand.
