A Bit Stormy Today

It was a bit stormy up here today, but nothing compared to what is going on down in Denver and along the Front Range. I hope everyone is OK down there. A bit of a thunderstorm rolled through mid-day shutting the lifts down for a short period. After that passed we re-opened. I went out skiing about 2 PM with the next storm threatening. It never really came and the spring skiing was awesome. You know how sometimes spring snow can be sticky, but other times it feels fast. Today was a fast day. The skis were gliding nicely and everywhere I skied, top to bottom, the snow was really fun.

Don't forget, Festival of the Brewpubs is this Sunday.

Kid's Center

Over the last decade our kids'programs have grown tremendously. A-Basin really is the ideal place for families with kids. Not only is the mountain loaded with fun kid places, but it is an easy place to keep families together.

This summer we are building a Kids Center. The old First Aid Room is going away and the new building will be immediately East of First Aid. In size and concept, it will be a three story building, similar to the Rental Shop Building. The First aid facilities will be at the parking lot level and accessible from the West. The Kids Center entrance will be at the same elevation as the Rental shop facing East. It will occupy the upper two levels of the building. Available in the building will be Snowsports sales, dining facilities, kids' rental gear, and kids' retail.

Construction is slated to begin in June and WILL NOT CAUSE A PREMATURE CLOSING OF THE SKI AREA.

Pali Update

The time has come. The North Side is closed for the season. Tuesday will be the last day for Pali Lift. While there is still a great deal of snow over there, conditions are such that it is time to put her down for the season. And it has been an extraordinary season over there.  Zuma Lift will be open through June 1 and Black Mountain Express and Lenawee Mountain Lifts will be open until the end (whenever that may be). We have a lot of fun to go. Lake Reveal anyone?
