Spring Riding Continues at Snowbird Through May 13
Snowbird, Utah – Continuing the tradition of the longest ski and snowboard season in Utah, Snowbird Ski & Summer Resort officials announced today the resort will remain open daily through Sunday, May 13 and then weekends thereafter, conditions permitting.
A fast-moving low pressure system delivered more than 14 inches of snow Wednesday night which brought the mid-mountain base to 87 inches.
“The calendar says spring but it continues to feel like winter at Snowbird,” said Snowbird President Bob Bonar. “The skiing and riding is still great and we want to share this with our guests.”
Snowbird will offer the Tram, Peruvian Express and Tunnel, Chickadee, Wilbere, Little Cloud, Gadzoom and Mineral Basin Express chairlifts through Sunday, April 29. Lift hours are 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
From April 30 through May 6, the Tram, Little Cloud, Mineral Basin Express, Wilbere and Gadzoom chairlifts will operate daily and lift tickets are $49/day. During this time, Mineral Basin Express will operate in the morning and close in the afternoon while Little Cloud will be closed in the morning and open in the afternoon. Lift hours will be 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Tram and Little Cloud will operate May 7-13, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and tickets are $49/day. After May 14, the Tram and Little Cloud will operate Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, as conditions permit.
