Looks pretty great to me. Due to fly to Snowbird Friday. Between the TSA scenes bombarding my social media and the doom and gloom from Opensnow I needed some photos like that to keep me sane!
 
Palisades said in a Tuesday blog post that the lack of snowfall and “quickly diminishing base” will stop the resort from making it to its targeted May 25 closing date. Instead, the resort is hoping to stay open until “late April,” although that date is not guaranteed. The resort is hoping to keep Alpine Meadows open until the first week of April.
 
Post by Heavenly on Facebook - seems like only upper level on CA may be OK as I heard middle level is not:

Conditions check: a little unpredictable, a lot of fun in the sun.

We've been dealing with temps that feel a little more June than March right now. As a result, today marked the final day for skiing and riding at top of Gondola and in Nevada. California is still open with plenty more days of spring skiing to be had, and the Gondola will remain open for sightseeing and activities. We're taking everything day by day and working hard to keep you sliding around on snow as long as we can. Layer on that sunscreen, stay hydrated, and we'll see what this shift in weather brings next week.

Perhaps they are concerned about wet slides during peak heat in the afternoon?
 
Powderhorn, Ski Cooper and Buttermilk are also all closed at this point in Colorado too. Silverton closes this coming weekend, hard to keep up with all the closures at this point.

Eldora is melting very fast now based on reports I've been getting past couple of days. Not sure if they will make it too much further. So many 80F+ days down here on the flatlands (which is ~60-65F at Eldora).
