I'll be around A Basin at the end of May beginning of June. The latest I've skied there was June 1st about 3 or 4 years ago and the snow was pretty decent. Is it worth it to bring the skis down this year or is it gonna be a waste? Any better places to go around that area at that time of year?

there's a lot of snow up there, so I think it should be good. I'll be tailgating till closing for sure

Just an update, but if you check this A-Basin will definitely be legit by the looks of it.

Today was sick. I don't think i've ever had pow quite like that in May in Colorado. Super low visibility but it was great. The park jumps were closed for there was to much snow.

the jumps are fairly shitty anyway, and their choice to build stepdowns is a little odd considering they tend to keep their park mellow for people learning.
