Skiing on 4th of July Weekend.  It’s legendary.  Sure you can hike up and ski a patch or do something extreme to get your 4th of July turns.  But, being able to ski all day at a ski resort on the 4th of July is what America is really all about, isn’t it?  Yes, it is.

On good years, there can be a plethora of ski resorts open.

In 2011, all these resorts were open for 4th of July:

Squaw Valley, CA

Mammoth, CA

Alpine Meadows, CA

Kirkwood, CA

Sugar Bowl, CA

This year, there will only be 3 ski resorts open.  But, considering what a rough year it was, we’ll take it!
