Arapahoe Basin in Colorado will be open until sometime in June. Generally the first week is when they close, mostly due to lack of business not snow. I think Snowbird in Utah will have some lifts spinning in June too. Utah got a good pounding of snow, so it's probably a good bet.

Could anyone suggest what would be my best bet for:

1. Weekend snowboarding
2. preferably freeriding
3. in June
4. at a ski-site within few hours drive from Irvine, California
5. or within a short comercial flight from Irvine, California
6. that won't cost an arm-and-a-leg ?

Any suggestions ?

Thanks,
BR.
