IT'S A CELEBRATION- 4TH OF JULY RIPPING

 Sugar Bowl is open this 4th for pass holders only. It just snowed there, it's gonna be a party. (http://www.up0.net/functions/message_view.html?mid=1041859&mlid=20175&siteid=667082&uid=c615d1bbb0&hq_e=el&hq_m=1041859&hq_l=1&hq_v=c615d1bbb0)

Squaw is open July 2nd-4th for $49 (http://www.squaw.com/july-4-skiing-riding)

Alpine Meadows is open July 2nd-4th for $39- but here's the deal- go to their facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/AlpineMeadowsSkiResort?ref=ts&sk=app_11007063052) and like them, the ticket prices will go down with more Facebook fans. If you like me (Elevated Locals) on Facebook my mom will bake you a cake.

A-basin is open July 1st-4th. Tickets are $39 and there is no beginner terrain open- invite the gapers. (http://www.arapahoebasin.com/ABasin/snow-conditions/summer-season.aspx)

Snowbird- You can stay the night and get a lift ticket for $85 this weekend if they have any rooms left (http://www.snowbird.com/lodging/hotdeals.php?deal=10). They are just open for the weekend, tickets are $49, but you can stay the night at Snowbird on the 4th for $59, they will give you pancakes, a bungy trampoline jump, and a mechanical bull ride. Sounds like a sweet hangover cure.

Mammoth is still $79, they are open July 2nd-4th, but you can mountain bike and golf with that pass too. (http://www.mammothmountain.com/ResortActivities/SpecialEvents/July4/).

Jackson has just reopened it's tram for back country skiing and riding. Um, awesome.
(http://pointofrelease.com/news/jackson-hole-tram-reopens-on-saturday-to-record-157-snowpack/) The tram will be open through June 17th and is free with proof of residency. I was born in Wyoming and was wondering if I could ride the tram for free with my birth certificate, so I called.  The answer is no- they are not impressed with my birth.
