A Really Nice Morning

I spent much of the morning touring the hill skiing a bit on the North Side, Lower Mountain, Upper Mountain and Montezuma Bowl. The timing was excellent. The sun was out. Conditions were soft corduroy. Caught an early lunch at BML. An afternoon storm rolled. We had a lightning closure for a while. The sun popped out and we re-opened Black Mountain Express for the end of the day. It just started snowing again. Spring time weather is always interesting. I was caught down in Denver yesterday for that hail and thunderstorm. That was rough.

Disc Golf Reminder

We are still a couple of months away from Disc Golf season at The Basin. That said, I wanted to remind everyone that we will be installing an additional 6 holes this season immediately after the snow melts. That will bring us up to a 9 hole course. We spent last summer working with the Forest Service on the approval process. We will get all 9 holes up and running as soon as possible.

With the 6th Alley Bar and Grill open Friday through Monday, come on up, play 9-18 holes of disc golf and enjoy a good meal and beverage on the deck.

Beaver Bowl

Here is a picture of a real photographer taking pictures of ski (and snowboard) models in Beaver Bowl. This image was snapped a few days ago. We anticipate the lift served portion of our Beavers project to be open well into May most years. Pretty darn good views and pretty darn good skiing. We are going to have some fun out there.

May Days

There just aren't that many places you can enjoy a May Day like this.

Rider Rally

Over 60 riders from the American Association of Snowboard Instructors (AASI) gathered at The Basin this week to shred with the US Demo Team, share ideas on instruction and, generally, have some fun.

Wednesday Morning

This is what the North Side looked like Wednesday morning. Today should be sunny and beautiful with temperatures approaching 40 F.

Still Winter

We reported 4 inches of snow again today. That seems to be the number lately. Spring weather is coming back (tomorrow) but, we have had a great week of winter weather.

More East Wall

More East Wall shots from Sunday. Pretty easy to see why people have been so excited to ski The Basin. And the season has a long way to go. Into to June.....at least.
