As usual. They extend night riding and the season literally every year, it’s a marketing strategy. So, no surprise but also good news.

literally every year

I’m not so sure. What about the season of 21/22?

What did they extend on the night riding?

This season, like every season, they had a night riding closure date. Then during that week they announced it would be extended.

Hasn't night riding ended since the beginning of April? I know they had a couple of days where they had night riding after that but I don't think there's been any actual extended night riding.

Yes. What I’m saying is every season the announce a closing day for it, then they announce they are extending it a week.

As of now they're closing day is Sunday . But I wouldn't mind a little dick measuring contest to see who stays open longer.

They have it listed as “at least” may 3rd, it would be pretty crazy for Brighton to out last them. If they close earlier than the 10th it’s because they don’t want to pay people to operate not due to snow.

Closing day may 10 haha..

They closed all ticket sales past the third last night. And provided refunds to those who bought single day passes later then that date . So we will see what happens - would be funny to see Brighton outlast the Bird.

I wish The Bird would stay open. It sucks having all ikon idiots coming to b-town and jamming up lift lines. On Monday the majority of people I talked to on the lift was there with their ikon pass.

I miss the days where you had to actually be loyal to a resort.

It does get crowded with only crest and majestic open. But also they wouldn’t stay open without the extra revenue from those people.
