When there's lots of snow and lots of people, Vail visitors often set out for the backcountry. It's a thrill. It's a great escape. But beware. Skiing, riding, snowmobiling and snowshoeing in the backcountry always means avalanche danger on and under steep slopes.

Well, it's finally happening. As the end of the ski season rapidly approaches (except maybe in Aspen), temperatures are rising, and precipitation is no longer an unseasonable powder pour, but sunny skies and the occasional rain/snow mix. Spring Skiing, however brief, has arrived out West.

Neil Young's famous quote "It's better to burn out than to fade away..." does not appear to hold true for Sun Valley's Seattle Ridge and Mayday's lift serviced bowls.

Yes, you read that correctly. And no, this is NOT an April Fool's Joke (that would be such poor taste!) With a base depth in Highlands Bowl topping 100 inches, the deepest it has been all season, Aspen/Snowmass has made the incredibly wise & outstanding decision to extend Highlands season through the weekends of April 18-19 & April 25-26.

Eight new inches on Vail, 10 new inches on Beaver Creek overnight and it has been dumping all day. How do you know it's a Powder Day? As skiergrrl reports, school was canceled!
