The Utah ski season has ended. It ended last Sunday when Snowbird officially closed its lift. Now, resorts are looking ahead to summer adventures.

Snowbird was to have closed its lifts on June 1, but was able to run weekends through June 22.

This year, Snowbird received nearly 650 inches of snow. Its long-term average is 500 inches.
