Conditions in the Rockies in June?

Hi there,

Just subscribed to this forum: interesting to see that carving in the <st1:country-region w:st="on">US</st1:country-region> seems to be much bigger than is in <st1>Europe</st1>!

In the first week of June, we'll drive from <st1:city w:st="on">Denver</st1:city> to <st1:state w:st="on"><st1>Utah</st1></st1:state>, Interstate 70, for some holidays. Plenty of time!

Does anyone of you know if some boarding is possible in some ski arias? Or will all the snow have gone?

Thanks very much,

Arthur

We had a great winter for snowfall, but every year, it melts sooner. It's almost dry enough up here to mtn. bike! You should leave your equipment at home and just explore Colorado and Utah.

But if you absolutely need to ride, Berthoud Pass will still have snow. You'd have to hit it just right (when it's soft but not dripping wet), and it would be more survival riding than carving, but ... it's free and the views up there are outstanding.

if your SUPPER lucky, Snowbird in salt lake city, utah might stil be oppen that time of year. typicaly they are open through june and into early july. but with the snow pack this year, that might be a stretch. good luck and keep your fingers crossed.

Arthur,

I live in Steamboat along with a strong group of Snowboard Racers. Our coach is a ripping Dutchman named Thedo. If you are in our neck of the woods swing on by to talk shredding. Due to our lower elevation we will not have any snow.

Yeah, but you don't have 9 months of winter and snow, and 3 months of "summer" - you probably have something similar to the opposite. We get snow 11 months of the year almost every year. For the 4th parade it almost always snows on us. By this time, we are all pretty sick of it and ready to be in shorts and flip flops. Sorry - I need the change of season!

Believe me I'm not complaining, I absolutely love where I live and appreciate it every day, just less so when it's almost June and it is still 40F for the high of the day :o

Come out here and get your fix - the Basin will be open for a while longer.

Hit the Basin on Wed, Thursday, and Friday.

Thursday was the best snow... :)

Won't be there for closing, but it was a fun last week!

Yeah, our guys are all trying to look and talk like LA street children... the power of tinsel town.
