No freeze overnight! Bummer, I'll go to work I guess.
I went to the Jane yesterday, coverage is great. Gotta watch the temps and the aspect. Its nice to get some actual spring skiing at a mountain that often closes in full winter conditions.
I'm a big fan of the extended seasons. It seems better to fade away than burn out. The traditional Spring Splash, party in the C Lot has turned into a bit too much of a Phish show/rave for me.
Will the party be in the C-lot? Bands and stuff? C chair ain't running. Will the Pano run on Saturday? I'll probably be skiing. Save me a brat?

Spring Mode = wake up, look outside and check the weather, make plans accordingly, medicate as required, do it...

I plan to be in the C lot and skiing. I'm very thankful they extended the season. A friend of mine said all the MJ lots were full last weekend. I hope the extension has been good for business.

I can't help but feel winter park was testing the waters to see if they could remain partially open and still stay in the black mid spring. Judging by how full the parking lots were last Sunday, it would be hard to imagine they didn't, unless an overwhelming majority of skiers were season pass holders.
If they did turn a profit I'd be willing to bet they stay open late next season, maybe even possibly a week later.
Would be cool if other ski areas started experimenting with late season skiing as well.IG skiNEwhere

Sounds like a good gathering in process.
Whoever grabs the best parking spot want to host?
We'll likely show around 830a and relax until 1030ish then go out. I don't think it froze last two days and tonight looks warm too.

Snow was actually very good in the morning above treeline in the Loveland Pass area. Going slushy but still firm underneath and fast. 1PM run was slop though.

Very random....I'm weighing the pros and cons of a move to park county, would like to figure out how much snow closes Hoosier Pass though. Does that pass pretty much close when Loveland pass closes, or is it more resilient to closures.

Also random, would like to take the little niece for a medium big hike and thinking Bergen peak.
Anyone know if it is melted out to the top?
Don't want her to have to negotiate icy muddy trails.

Pretty dead indeed at the Jane for these 2 extra weeks. Weekday skier counts have hovered around 400-500 people, of which I'd bet the majority are season pass holders and employees. Last weekend was around 10 times those numbers, but the Broncos draft probably boosted numbers. Busy winter weekend days see 12-15,000+ skiers. Can't imagine the resort is making much money from the extended Jane season, but it sure has generated a lot of happy folks.

Weekdays have been very uncrowded at the Jane these last 2 weeks. 17 people lined up for 1st chair last Tuesday on a 6" day. Weekends have been better. Seems like not many folks besides the regular die hards even know they are still open and maybe they could to do more to get the word out. I hear, conditions-permitting, they would like to make this a regular thing in future seasons, but its only gonna work if folks come out.

Going to be at ABasin on Saturday, anyone have a ballpark time that the main lot fills up? And what time all the parking lots will be full?
