It always bums me out when the hill closes at four and the sun is still high in the sky. Which hills extend their hours?

I think Bolton, when night skiing is done, expands the hours to five or maybe even six. Pretty sure I caught a nice sunset last spring.

Who else?

(In my opinion, it should be the default, but I understand employees want to get home at a reasonable hour).

So this is what they do at Granby Ranch in Colorado. They extend the hours and keep the lifts open till about 7pm. They have lights but they are not generally needed. They have rail jams, music and the bar hops on those twilight ski evenings. It becomes an event.

Wachusett reduced their hours this year. They use to close at 8 after daylight savings and now close at 7. This is especially infuriating given how good the place is skiing these days. As far as I'm aware, no reason was given and I've been ignored by them on twitter.
