A-Basin, Colo. (Shred White and Blue)-Fear not, fair shredders, for the lift-served season is not over yet – at least not as long as Colorado and Utah can keep riding on those ridiculous late May snows.

According to www.skiinfo.co.uk, “There are four areas still open in the US, all on the Western side of the country. Mammoth Mountain in California has a 7.5 – 12 foot (2.3 – 3.6m) base and reports a fresh dusting of snow in the past few days. The near-year-round Timberline ski area on Mt Hood in Oregon has a 148 inch (4.5m) base. Arapahoe Basin in Colorado is looking good with about half of its lifts and terrain open with a 45 inch (112cm) base and yet another three inches (7cm) of new snow in the past few days.”

And Snowbird just went over the 600-inch mark for this season! The ‘bird also announced that they’re going to keep the lifts running up to June 20th, marking a 199-day season at the Utah resort. Check it out: www.snowbird.com.

Lindsey Vonn Helps Close Out Law and Order

New York (Shred White and Blue)- On Monday, May 24 Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn accomplished a life goal of appearing on the final episode of NBC’s legendary drama “Law & Order.”  Early in her career, Vonn began a guerilla lobbying effort to become a character on the program, commonly telling reporters that she’d play a “stiff” just to be included in one episode.   Vonn was able to visit the set and meet with a number of cast members last year during a New York City media swing, then following her inspiring gold and bronze medal performances in Vancouver, show creator Dick Wolf took notice and invited her to film and episode in early spring.  ”I was completely shaking, but I had a grin from ear-to-ear” said Vonn, who plays an administrative assistant at a teachers’ union and tries to help Detectives Cyrus Lupo (Jeremy Sisto) and Kevin Bernard (Anthony Anderson) find an anonymous blogger who threatens to blow up a school.
