Keep your fingers crossed that A-basin stays open til June so I can get a run or two in this season!!
I skied A-Basin today. It was awesome and not over crowded. It was snowing all day and pretty cold.

Many years A-Basin closes the 4th of July. The last several years they've been closing in June because of construction projects. This summer they installed a new high speed quad at the base. Even with a light snow year last year, I skied A-Basin on May 15th in powder.

I agree that Utah may be cheaper than Aspen, Vail or Telluride but there are multi-mountain passes available to front rangers for all the front range resorts. I skied 73 days last year and it cost me approx. $10 per day. That included all resorts in the Summit Cty area, except Loveland, Winter Park and Steamboat.
