Snowbasin to end season prematurely: "This is not what we wanted"
https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/snowbasin-to-end-season-prematurely-this-is-not-what-we-wanted/ar-AA1YZBxt?ocid=msedgntp&pc=HCTS&cvid=69bd0d23cccb49c18444f93d82a47027&ei=17As a record-setting heat wave sends the mercury sky-high across the American West, ski resorts are pulling the plug on the season.
Snowbasin, located northeast of Salt Lake City, is among the first to declare an early-than-planned closing date. In a candid video to social media followers, COO & General Manager Davey Ratchford announced that Snowbasin's final day of the winter season will be Sunday, March 22, 2026.

Snowbasin isn't alone in closing early this season. Eagle Point, located in Southern Utah, intended to remain open through Easter Sunday, April 5, but was forced to end its season this past Sunday due to the deteriorating snowpack.
Elsewhere across the West, multiple ski resorts have already ended their seasons in Idaho, Oregon, and California, and more early-closing dates are expected to be announced as temperatures remain far above average.
