Alpine is open until May 21st. Lifts run from 8:00 am until 1:00 pm. The morning is usually really fast, by 9:00 all the east slopes are perfect corn snow. As the morning goes by the south slopes get really nice. By noon it is the north slopes that have softened up. After 1:00 it is beer:30!
This is actually my favorite time of year to ski. The steeps are especially fun.
Those trees were snapped like twigs from an avalanche earlier in the season.
