Snowbird, UT – With its venerable Little Cloud double chair scheduled for replacement this summer by a new high-speed detachable quad chairlift, Snowbird skiers and riders threw a party on Sunday to mark the lift’s — and the resort’s — final day of the 2011-12 winter season.

After nearly 32 feet of snowfall this season, skiers and snowboarders clad in bikinis and costumes flocked to the resort to get one last day on the slopes of Utah’s Wasatch Mountains this season.
