Utah's Snowbird ski area says it will offer skiing and snowboarding in June and has not yet announced an end to its 22-23 season.
The ski area, which has reported over 800" of snowfall through the season and still has snow lying 10 feet/3m deep, says it will open this weekend and next, then close for a fortnight before re-opening 17-18th June.
From that point it will run the new cabins on its iconic tram lift complete with the option to ride up the mountain in open air 'balconies' on the roof.
This type of lift is offered at a number of other ski resorts in Europe including Tignes and the former ski area on Austria's Dachstein glacier, but nowhere ese in North America.
Snowbird say they intend to keep operating to US Independence day on 4th of July if possible.
Elsewhere in Utah, Brighton ski area remains open to the end of the month while Solitude Mountain reached their 190th ski day of the 22/23 season on Friday.
"We have now been open for skiing and riding 30 more days than any previous season in Solitude history. We look forward to celebrating our snowiest and longest season this closing weekend!" they announced in a statement.
