New to Know: Seattle’s Edgewater Hotel, biking package at L.A. Athletic Club

After a hard day’s night, a place to let it be

If McCartney-mania still has you in its spell, there’s a place where you can go. Seattle’s Edgewater Hotel hosted the Fabs on their 1964 tour stop. After “working like dogs” on another one-nighter, they no doubt slept like logs in Room 272, now dubbed the Beatles Suite. The 700-square-foot studio-style suite sports pine ceilings and bookcases (could the wood be Norwegian?), a king-sized bed, a living room, a library and a dining area. A state-of-the-art stereo system is stocked with Beatles CDs, plus there’s a photo gallery of the group that includes the famous “fishing out the window” photo, taken in this very suite. Just the place to let it be. Cost: $1,050 per day. Check the website or call for special offers and suite availability.

Downhill to summer

Don’t put away those skis or boards just yet: They may be good for another run or 200 on soft corn snow at several California ski areas, where the season stretches beyond the traditional mid-April closing date. Many ski areas reduce lift ticket prices, but operations in some cases may be restricted only to weekends.

Sugar Bowl, Heavenly and Kirkwood will keep lifts humming until April 25, a week after Lake Tahoe neighbors Mt. Rose, Northstar and Sierra-at-Tahoe shut down.

Locally, Snow Valley and Mountain High plan to stay open until late April if crowds warrant it.

Squaw Valley will call it quits May 9. A week later, Alpine Meadows will follow suit. By mid-May, Donner Ski Ranch expects to be the last Lake Tahoe-area ski hill to close.

Mt. Baldy will be the remaining Southern California option until the end of May, if the snow holds and enough people show.

The state’s final curtain on skiing and riding may come down on Memorial Day at Mammoth Mountain, with the possibility of an encore. “Based on the current snowpack, we will probably be open until at least mid-June,” said Daniel Hansen, a spokesperson for the resort.
