Skiers took part Thursday — the Fourth of July — in the final day of skiing for the 2018-19 season at Snowbird. Due to rapidly melting snowpack on the lower mountain, the skiing and snowboarding was limited to the upper mountain. Snowbird’s summer activities are now offered daily from 11 a.m. until 8 p.m., and include the Aerial Tram, Woodward WreckTangle, Alpine Slide, a bungee trampoline, a climbing wall, a ropes course, and kids' inflatables.
