For some it will
eternally be scenes from the classic, ski movie 'Hot Dog'. For others it's girls in
bikinis and snow pants (so hot). That's kind of the 'thing' about Spring time in the mountains,
there's A LOT to it!!
With no shortage of snow, the resorts at
Lake Tahoe are enjoying a spring like they have not seen
in almost 5 years! That's enough of a reason to celebrate for us! The area has been
inundated with snow after a fairly dry February;
over 5 feet of the 'white love from above' has fallen
in the past 7 days! With
4 resorts making up the bulk of Tahoe's ski terrain there should be
plenty of snow and frolic to keep your spring hopping!!
Heavenly hosts weekend concerts and DJ sets form now until closing while bluegrass, a five week concert series and
awesome pond skimming help usher in the slopes' closing at
Squaw/Alpine.
Meanwhile
Utah has its own Spring spectacular to tout! Snow at the
newly minted, largest resort in the US,
Park City Mountain, has been phenomenal for its inaugural year!
One of the great benefits to Deer Valley, (the former) Canyons, and Park City Mountain (which now includes Canyons) is that there is a
bona-fied city of almost 10,000 not far from their bases! This means
it's Spring-tacular in PC! Like many resorts,
Park City Mountain has a concert series through March until April's closing date, and
Spring Gruv which entails an
awesome mid-mountain pond skim and HUGE concerts from well known,
national and international acts! Deer Valley and Park City Mountain also share the
Thin Air Innovation Festival closing week of the season, a place for
free thinkers to be inspired by nature for new solutions to age old business questions. The finale of the festival is a concert by the
world renowned Thievery Corporation!
Not to be left in the cold (wait, did I just say that?),
Colorado has already started the spring fling, kicking it up a notch with the
Burton US Open last week in
Vail.
Breckenridge, Keystone, Vail and Beaver Creek all have
festivities and concerts galore from now until the end of April!
Crested Butte's closing day on April 3rd is preceded by
pond skimming and a rail jam on the 2nd
and
concludes operations with big ol' FAT par-teh at the base with Uptown Toodeloo String Band!
Aspen is one of the
latest closing mountains in Colorado, not calling operations
until April 17th and they are CHOCK FULL of events from now until then!!
Bud Light Spring Jam pulls on
mountain competitions, concerts, and parties together,
across four different resorts (Aspen, Highlands, Buttermilk and Snowmass) for almost
a month of fun a frolic!!
Jackson Hole, celebrating its
50th winter in operation, is going
all out for their closing weekend with,
great sites all over the mountain, entertainment at the base, and plenty of apres. Leading up to the closing weekend there will be
weekly concerts, ski and snowmobile competitions and
exciting events throughout the town of Jackson, and Teton Village.
Big Sky abounds with the
song of spring!
Concerts fill the calendar until
closing day, April 17th. Bluegrass, rock, classic rock, EDM and good old fashioned Jimmy Buffet Apres style tunes will keep your
toes a tapping long after they are out of ski boots!
