Yes, it is entirely possible to get in several runs before a 2:30 departure. If you're packed and ready to go you can probably ski until 11:30 or so, change and still make it to the airport by 12:30. If you are taking a shuttle out to the airport, you probably need to check the shuttle times, but I'd bet you can at least get in a couple of hours skiing before the shuttle pick-up.

We have thought about this several times but it seems the shuttle normally picks us up around 10:00 and we've thought it might be too tight.

It is fine unless there is a big dump that day. That can cause come trafiic delays but unless its really stormning, no worries provided you have everything packed and ready to load.

Cheers

Last year the gondola and the Christy Six started loading folks at 8:30am. You could also consider getting a ticket for "first tracks" and loading about a half hour earlier, guaranteeing that you get the most runs possible on your last day.

Before I started bringing my kids and exponentially increased my travel stress, I always managed to get a few runs in prior to departure. Even if I only went on a single Heavenly Daze-Jess's Cut Off- See Me run down to the base. We always stayed then at Sheraton as a couple so everything was easier. Now we say our goodbyes the day before.
