McCall, ID – Several inches of new snow this week will put a fresh topping on the slopes for Brundage Mountain’s final day of the 201112 ski season, but a forecast for warm rain on Sunday has prompted resort officials to squash plans for skiing and riding on Sunday.

Brundage Mountain received three to six inches of fresh snow across the mountain early this week. The snow base currently ranges from approximately 60 to 100 inches, thanks in part to the 69 inches of snow that fell during the month of March.

“Our slopes still look terrific and coverage is impressive,” said resort spokesperson, April Russell. “We’re proud to offer the longest spring season in Southern Idaho.”

Partly sunny skies are forecast for Saturday, but unseasonably warm temperatures are expected Saturday night and there’s a chance of rain on Sunday, so Brundage Mountain is no longer planning to operate on Sunday.

Brundage Mountain plans to run three of the resort’s five chairlifts from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, accessing 1,340 of the mountain’s 1,500 acres of skiable terrain.   Food and Beverage service will be available in the Main Lodge and in Smoky’s Bar & Grill. The mid-mountain Bear’s Den will be closed.

Kids 11 and under will ski for free on Saturday. Adult and junior/senior lift ticket prices will be reduced to $45 and $27, respectively, and individuals who hold a current season pass at any other ski area will get an additional $5 off these prices.

The Brundage Mountain Snowsports school will offer lessons. Reservations are highly recommended for the Brundage Bears children’s program and Brundage Mountain Day Care services.

Keeping with tradition, visitors are invited to meet at the main lodge at 1 p.m. on Saturday to be part of the resort’s commemorative “Closing Day” group photograph.
