memorial weekend '97 revisted ...
first of all kudos to the mtn for a great effort this season. for those who haven't seen it and want a trip down memory lane, here's my video paean to the legendary 96-97 season when they closed june 22 featuring footage from memorial weekend '97 intercut with memorial weekend '07. supe still edge to edge. i'm skiing skye lark which was still t-t-b and a nature run down double dip thrown in for good measure. still a ton of snow in "the light". guessing they made more snow that season and but also got a big assist from mama nature with cooler temps. my dirtadikt's looking pretty good on supe and dd after only her 4th season ...

Re: memorial weekend '97 revisted ...
wow, that is quite wild!
i was still on a ski sabbatical in '97, my first late spring was '03. by may 25
that year SS was still decent - compared to say, today :0( but that '97 footage is ridiculous.
great to see full trails and chairs so late.
thanks for sharing.

Re: memorial weekend '97 revisted ...
Very nice video. Thanks.
Was that the year they were open until June 21st?
Can't remember if that was the year I skied Fathers day June 14th?
Golfed, Skied, Mtn Biked(lift accessed), broke collar bone.
Epic day.

You may have a little more gray going now but your style remains unchanged.

I thought I'd join the party with this oldie from '97. A lot this was shot after 6/1.

Can't believe all that snow so late in June in 1997. Of course, it had to be a great year since I was pregnant with Iceman and could not ski at all.
