If you’re looking for a good idea on what to do in the United States this weekend, know that skiing and snowboarding is still an option. Pretty much every ski resort across the state closed weeks or months ago, but there’s still a few mountains with snow to slide on. Unfortunately just 2 ski areas are operating with spinning lifts this weekend, but a third is open with a hike park.
(Beartooth Basin, Wyoming’s summer ski area, is currently closed for lift maintenance. They currently hope to reopen on June 8th, after this weekend, and thus they are not included in this list. Check their website for more updates.)

3 U.S. Ski Resorts Open This Weekend
Copper Mountain, Colorado – Copper Mountain officially opened their hike park this Friday, June 5th, providing rails and boxes for continued progression work throughout the summer months. The hike park is open Thursdays through Sundays for as long as conditions allow, with day tickets costing $25. Head to their website to learn more.
Mammoth Mountain, California – Closing weekend is officially here for California’s longest ski season, and it doesn’t look like Mammoth has any surprise season extensions left up their sleeve. Sunday, June 7th will be the last day of the season. Currently the mountain has 3 chairlifts and 20 trails open, so don’t miss out!
Timberline Lodge, Oregon – The summer season is just getting going at Timberline Lodge, with Palmer Lift set to spin from 8:30am to 1:30pm every day and both private training lanes and public lanes available. While a closing date isn’t set yet, Palmer Snowfield typically manages to stay open at least until August.
