[vinnyv11]

Crazy to hear about closings in VT and NH considering that several mountains in PA are still running lifts.

Some of these closings are just obscene considering how much snow they still have and current favorable conditions.

The date for Magic (4/10) was the anticipated closing date posted at the beginning of the season so it may be the same issue for some of the other mountains listed unless something more recent has been issued by management.

My wife and I were running errands yesterday after work. Saw a kid in his baseball uniform and cleats in one store.

Yup its already started by me as well. My boys have been having LAX practice for a couple of weeks already...

Certainly is a bummer. We closed Pico last Sunday and it was fully open with great coverage. You could drag your poles through the snow under the Summit lift. Posted a report of the last day with photos here.

Belleayre posted this on their site today: "THE SEASON JUST KEEPS ON GOING..... BELLEAYRE WILL BE OPEN UNTIL APRIL 10TH !"

They definitely have the snow to stay open at least another week or two. I am hoping they reopen for the weekend of the 16th.

Berkshire East Closed - another season passed with them on my to-do list without getting it done.

Not so fast. Word from the Patrol Director is that if the storm hits as scheduled Friday, the lift will be spinning this weekend. Kitchen will be closed, no ski school, but plenty of snow!

"Squaw is extending its season through Memorial Day, while Mammoth, with a peak elevation exceeding 11,000 feet, might remain open through Independence Day."

Belleayre is stating Apr 10 as their tentative last day, but I doubt they close then. I was up there on Monday and they have a TON of snow, with all their natural trails still in great shape.

Bolton Valley sent a Thanks for the Season email saying - "December will come much faster than we think". WTF

Unless something weird happens, it's a done deal that they'll be open this weekend.

I'm sure the crowds were too. My visit there 3/20 was awesome and since it's just the wifes cup of tea I will be back there probably next year. Fun place.

it is just sad that the closings are "business related" rather than lack of adequate conditions.

Yup, gotta blame all of those few time a year skier/rider people who you're seeing these days standing by the side of little league fields, soccer fields, lacrosse fields, out riding their bikes and out on the golf course instead of heading North to slide on some of the best conditions of the year right now :smash:

True BUT the bottom line is king when you're running the joint

Very true words their Warp! And words I never fully appreciated until I became the person signing the checks in a business

It costs a lot of money to spin a lift for just a handful of people. And that handful is usually made up of season passholders. Their pass money was spent back in December; making snow.

It stinks, but I've been there on those amazing bluebird days with temps in the 60's....and no one else is there. Makes me laugh a little bit because people will be out skiing when it's, mobbed, cloudy and the windchill is -20F.
