PeteyWykesCan someone please explain how woodward copper still has snow? Is it that cold at night? Do staffer cover it w/ tarps? How the hell is it still open, none the less open after timberline has closed?
PilleDaKidim pretty sure there is still a decent amount of snow in areas of the backcountry in colorado as well. as far as i know there isn't any skiing here in utah at this point (i'd be happy if i was wrong and someone knew of somewhere). most places in the west suffered a lot more than colorado did from this mild winter and i think that has a lot to do with copper being able to stay open longer than timberline.
saracheezyi think they literally just push a huge pile together before the end of the season to help it last longer... could be wrong but ive heard that a few times from people
ZachRyanWe have two parks for summer. Central Park is our larger park it's where our main park is in the winter, and also where our main park is for summer camp. Come mid April when copper has to close due to forest service permits they take the main park and the trails above and below it and push it all into one massive pile.
The hike park is the second park and the same idea but it is where our half pipe is in the winter. So they take the half pipe and the snow around it, push it straight down into one massive pile and that forms the hike park which is still there and will be open every Saturday 9-3 until September 19th weather dependent of course
Z_BeneschAnyone can buy a lift ticket on saturdays?
FigNewtonYup. $20
Woodward makes a lot of snow in the winter and then piles it up for the summer.

xX*TACO-DOG*Xxis there a park open to the public that has a lift?
DolanReloadedBump.
Op how can you be a skier and not have a clue about the effects of latitude and (in this case) altitude on a mountains avg seasonal temperatures?
Places like copper and abasin have colder temps in summer due to their high altitude, therefore when they have good winter snowfall the snow sticks around well into summer, especially if they pile it up into a mini glacier like woodward
ColingarnesThe fact you bumped this 4 year old post just to then write this post... let's me know I wouldn't like you in person.
DolanReloadedYou sound stupid. Are you?

Saga.Utah mountains still have a lot of snow. Check the Traveling Circus guys’ instagrams. They’ve been up at Brighton for the last two weeks.
