Thread: Wow, yeah, the bird really wants outta this season, and now, eh!

I guess I could be reading more into these recent decisions than is warranted, but then again, maybe not.
A week and a half ago, the bird did four things they've NEVER done in the 28 yrs I've been skiing there:
1)shut down 4 lifts, or conveyances, for the season right BEFORE a weekend, instead of waiting for the extra dollars a weekend usually brings.
2)closed perv tunnel, perv, gad 2 & baby thunder for the season, AT THE SAME TIME!
3)was the earliest season closing date ever for any of those lifts (2nd week of April), which then also
4)became the earliest date ever to allow chair passes to be used on the tram.
Based on these actions, do the tea leaves suggest no Memorial weekend skiapalooza this year?

wow, that is crazy.
Also crazy you and i have skied at snowbird the same number of years.


hope you are well.
Sorry I missed you when i was out.

Well since the site now says closing on May 13th (ver bottom of page http://www.snowbird.com/events/eventcalendar.php) i doubt anything for memorial day.. In fact up til about a week and a half ago it was closing on may 20th. For some reason i thought peruvian was down for maintenance. I mean you can ski right into that terrain from the tram so its not a coverage thing.

But i agree...slow year..glad I didnt buy a combo pass.

Maybe they are giving you a hint.

don't they need to marshal all their resources to start building the glorious new water park??

too many golfers imo

Just announced via twitter that they lifts that will be running starting tomorrow will only be running from 8am - 2pm....maybe OP is right...they want to just put a fork in this season and be done.

my plan to head from the new orleans jazz and heritage festival to SLC to ski the bird is fading fast. Was looking at the 10th and 11th of May. Worth it snow wise to ship gear from the EC to make turns on what's left? I have to be in SLC for the weekend anyways.

I think if youre desperate to make some turns you'll be fine. I mean the closing date is AFTER that and they still have good coverage as of last weekend.

there is no lack of snow , especially since they did snowmaking until february, they just realized they lost more money this year than it would have cost to build their mountain top restaurant to steal more business away from themselves.

With this "heatwave" we are losing about 4" a day so who knows what will be left in a month. Lets hope all that falls later this week is of the frozen type and we should be fine.

Butthurt so powerful it even crushed Snowbird.
