Stevens Pass Alpine & Nordic - Closing for Season!

We gave it our best run, but the warm temperatures and rain have finally beaten us. We are thankful that we were able to run the lifts as much as we did this season and thank all of you for your support, encouragement and patronage. We will put this unprecedented season behind us and look ahead with all the enthusiasm that comes with renewed hope and excitement of a great season to come. Thank you again, and have a great spring and summer!

The Stevens Pass Staff

We just closed our T-Bar and carpet due to lack of snow.

The snow in Colorado hasn't exactly been impressive, but then, it really is only about a month and a half until most resorts are closed, so I don't expect much. I hope I get in at least one more day of skiing. Might not happen though...

That sucks, we are looking at sking and riding to june at mammoth at least. Most resorts will close mid-april and a few (Squaw and Alpine) probably to memorial day, heavenly to the beginning of may and if kirkwood is cool they will be open at least weekends from mid-april to memorial day. Spring is going to be fun :)

Zack... right now... I would like to... make you suffer... by living... IN WASHINGTON.

:) I was gonna go spring skiing at Stevens next monday, but not now...

I thought you were talking about going to White Pass?

I'm going to Bachelor in two weeks for spring break. However, my dad heard that it might not be open but I highly doubt it since there is still a lot of snow left. But Hoodoo and WP are pretty much closed. I think you can still ski at WP but the only lift open is the Eagle Peak Accelerator for summer operations. So it's a slow ride up.

[Bill]

WP is closed temporarily, but as of the other day Stevens was open.

Damn you guys need to get down here. Right now we have a perfect corn cycle going on and its going to last a few weeks then maybe some snow :)

Cameron you should come down here. Ill take a day off or something

Hey Bill now you know how it felt like the past 4 years before last year. This year has been the savior for us reallyand its been awesome we still got a 100inch base at certain resorts. So now that I've made you drool I send my deepest condolences out to all the NW skiers pit there for your poor season. No one deserves a season like this ever.

Colorado has had an interesting year, Places like Wolf Creek are at a 147" base and Powderhorn is at their largest base in years where as many of the other resorts like Breck have only rescently built up to 60". Do you think that the poor winter snow will affect summer skiing at Timberline? I was hoping to get up there this summer.

Even the T-Line has pretty low base. I'd suggest going no later than June this year instead of waiting till July or August.

Sunshine Village just got 11 cms in the past 5 days...Three cheers for the Canadian Rockies! :):)^_^^_^

[Durrrant]

its been snowing all week in vermont. But because of the wind, all of the snow is in the trees. It sucks for people like my mom who refuse to ski trees, but for those of us who like the glades, its great. and oh yeah, I'm going up next week. 1 day @Kmart, 1 @ Sunapee, 3 @ Jay. anybody want pics?

sorry about being

[Bill]

Yea, get some lift pictures, then we can start building NE in the website chairlift part. Terminals, towers, lift-line. Cool and thanks.

[crazyskier91]

I;ve got lots of killington, sugarbush, and pico pictures. I have so many I think I need to send you a CD or something.

[Bill]

Yes, that would be cool. Contact skibachelor for info. Perhaps we can do a trade (Worldbooks 2005 for CD of lift images)... :)

[crazyskier91]

Hey I never thought of that, I think I have around 1000 images of skilifts total, so for a penny an image thats enough for a world book, i'll contact skibachelor, oh and just so someone else doesn't get to say it. We are

[floridaskier]

Next to everywhere else, Utah is pretty awesome right now. 100+ bases all over the place. It's really warm (50s to 60s) but that just softens everything up and lets everyone to ski in T-shirts

[KZ]

Are you back up there right now tyler? I know you usually go twice a year but I wasnt sure when you go later in the year.
