Only the 2 summer specialists are still chuggin’ along in North America:  Timberline & Whistler.  But the X factor did resurface this week as Nate Fillnow proved that there is still good skiing from the Snowbird Tram this week.  He skied Main Chute at Snowbird on June 24th and it still goes.  The Snowbird & Jackson Hole trams are open for skiing and riding…  if you want it bad enough.
It was sad to see Beartooth Basin close down, but considering what a dry winter it was in most of the USA, it’s fantastic they stayed open so long and got all their camps and comps in without issue.
