    sounds like fun
    I need to go to Utah.
    Utah?
    Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?

    So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....


    Thanks BCSAR and POWMOW Ski Patrol for rescues

    ^ If the last few years are any indication of a trend, then no. Even with a decent snowpack, Tahoe resort closings have been pushed back into April the last few years. Mammy is the one that stays open. If Squaw has good ticket sales toward the end of season they *might* go to weekend only operation but that's unlikely so late into May.

    Who needs Squaw when you can bring skins and hit the Dana Plateau though? Eastern Sierra in the spring alone is worth the drive from Seatown. Hiking and fishing are off the charts too if you need additional motivation.

    Squaw MAY be open that weekend. Alpine is scheduled to shut down the weekend before that. Likely with weekend only operations in the last couple/few weeks leading up to closing. At least that's what I heard from the Director of Snowsports. It seems that Squaw usually stays open a day or two longer than Alpine, maybe just so they can say they were open longer??

    Hey Yogachik and company...I would like to try to do this one. I would also like to bring my kid (15 now!) who loves skiing w/ maggots.

    I will talk w/ him about how this fits in w/ his crazy teenage life. I have no doubt he will want to drop everything and use up some of mom's flyer miles. I also still have those vouchers from when I screwed up my knee a few seasons ago there. This time I'll ski it right.

    MoGB bringing pork? I'm in. Love the later date. More sun.

    FKNA 2.1,2.2 both decent spots to camp. I really liked 2.2. Off the road just a bit.

    Could be a good year for Tioga.

    Cool I Bloody Well Hope So!

    Cinders & me hope we'll be able to come again this year.
    It all depends on the kindness of the Maggots who are driving down

    We won't be camping, so if Y'all know of good accomodation dealio's, please pass it along.
    And we'll be staying inbounds, so hopefully can take someone up on their buddy-ticks.

    On another note, I first looked in the Summits forum for this thread

    Start checking the Mamoth Mountain Inn. Last year in late may they had a deal going for 99 per night And 2 Lift tickets so the room was basicly FREE?

    They have a pool
    And a Jacuzzi

    Certainly not a necessity, but if I fly down I'd likely fly to Reno and drive from there and depending on when I get in I might get in half a day or something at a Tahoe area resort as opposed to missing out if I drive right to Mammoth.

    In any event, I'm interested. I did the mini a few years back and it was a lot of fun and a great way to end the season! This winter I've hardly even been on the snow and I'd love to make it to Mammoth to get my butt kicked around the mountain by everyone else who have actually skied this winter!
