agreed well maybe not 1/4 the amount of snow. A basin averages over 400"/ season.
anyway, when i was there tuesday they were talking about running the lenewee lift until august and making snow when they could on chilly nights in july and august. There was talk that some summer camps expressed interest in A basin b/c of the crappy snow at the usuall nort american summer meccas of Hood and Blackcomb.
if so then i would think that A basin could profit from these camps. i guess well wait and see!

it would be a logistical nightmare for the camps to move to a-basin. earlier in the year i heard they might have to cancel the later sessions in july/august.
