Mike R’s old stomping ground is up to its old tricks. A-Basin has extended its ski season for another week and will now close on June 12!
We drove up and arrived last Friday and as we got closer we saw the signs saying Independence Pass was open and it make my stomach rumble. I don’t like IP at any time; much less when there is still ice and snow up there. By the way, between Walsenberg and Minturn we had bright sunshine, rain, snow, sleet and small hail. It’s that time of year.I heard that from our daughter, Dick; crazy! She's leaving today for her bachelorette party in Aspen....they have to go over Independence Pass, which just barely opened !
Not sure if it’s a record, but do know they try to stay open every year till the first weekend in June.Wow- is that a record for a latest date?

While A-Basin only has been open for the Fourth of July four times in the past, the ski area nearly made it in 2003, staying open until July 2 - but "we just couldn't hold on" that year, Hierholzer said.
