Still skiing in Utah, B.C.
Some ski resorts are still open, and have lots of snow, in Utah and British Columbia

Snowbird, the only Utah resort still open for skiing, has so much snow it might be able to keep running until summer. And part of B.C.'s Whistler resort is still drawing skiers and will remain open into June.
With 11 feet of snow on the ground at Snowbird, resort officials said it will stay open for skiing into June and possibly longer.
Skiing was to have ended Memorial Day, but Snowbird President Bob Bonar says he'll keep the resort open as long conditions allow. Snowbird lifts have run as late as July 4. Bonar says it is too early to know if that's possible this year.
Snowbird, about 30 miles from Salt Lake City, has even started up one of the chair lifts it had closed for the season (while shutting down its signature 125-passenger tram for maintenance). The Little Cloud chair takes skiers almost to the top of the mountain from the bottom of a northwest-facing bowl.
In British Columbia, Blackcomb mountain, one of the two mountains of Whistler Resort, is open until June 8, with skiing on dozens of runs. Summer skiing on Blackcomb's glacier (very limited terrain) begins on June 9. Blackcomb still has a healthy 92-inch base.
