Saddleback is closed midweek but running wknds through 4/20....they are 100% open up there and I bet have some of the best conditions in New England right now.

That's crap on Smuggs! They are confusing people with wording and their staff - they planned on keeping the Sterling side open until the 20th all along and now they put out messages that give the appearance of more! BenedictGomez you are right about that! And you are right about skiing just Sterling - why bother!


Oh well.... Smuggs was my first choice for a 4/12 Easter week vacation, but I'm sure Jay peak or Stowe will be happy to take my money.

there's always South America ya'll!

Japan. Skied Hakkoda May 5-8 in 2013, there was still 6-8' of base even at the base of the tramway. Even got about 4" of snow at upper elevations one morning.

And you can actually see where you're going most of the time in the spring there... winter can get pretty ugly apparently despite the ridiculous amount of snow.

little more then 2 weeks from now you will have to go west for any major full mountain riding. Colorado seems to still be getting blasted ontop of their base this season. South and Mid VT are on Last legs. North VT has a chance to go a little longer but will lose lifts and territory fast

There is plenty of snow left right now. it is matter of how long it lasts.

I'd guess Sugarbush will be open through Easter easily.

That's a damn shame then

In some senses yes, in some senses no its not. There's still plenty of lift served skiing to be had. An area closing for the season with 100% open probably considers it a success. Happens in Colorado all the time doesn't it? (Government even forces it on some) Seasonal businesses use a calendar.

Wonder if any areas are closing while 100% open

Quite a few I hate to say! Unfortunately, it is about low skier visits and managing costs and not so much about percent of terrain available! The resorts that have staying power are the reports that are hanging in there for marketing purposes and reputation!

In Eastern PA everything is closed midweek. As for weekends, 4/6 is the last day for Big Boulder and Blue, 4/13 is the last day for Camelback.
