Snowbird, UT – Officials at Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort confirmed on Friday that due to a rapidly melting snowpack, this may well be the final weekend of skiing and snowboarding at the Utah resort.nIt’s “looking like this will be the last weekend for skiing and riding at Snowbird,” the ski resort’s marketing director, Dave Fields, said on Friday. “We’ll re-evaluate next week but high temps zapped the snowpack.”

Snowbird, the only remaining ski resort in Utah still open and one of only three left standing in the U.S., had extended its ski season to June 20, right to the start of the meteorological summer. Although cool weather has returned along with predicted snow showers for this weekend, and mid-mountain snow depths remain at 80 inches, warm weather this week melted enough snow to propel Little Cottonwood Creek beyond flood stage.

Snowbird is open today though Sunday, with lift hours for the Aerial Tram and Little Cloud chairlift are from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Late season lift tickets are reduced to $49.
