2012 Closings

[bvibert]

I can tell you that is not the plan. Our intention is to still operate through the end of April. Of course, Mother Nature always has the ultimate say.

Nice! I hope to get up there for some spring skiing!

They do have some great spring skiing and if conditions are good I might head to Killington in few weeks.

Hunter is going down fast - they just moved Pond Skimming to next week! That is typically the end!


They had $17 lift tickets today and from the webcam the place is empty. The weather looks bad and the mountain worse. I am heading over now. Hope they at least get a great bar day today, as it is their St. Pats party

no way they make it till the end of aprill. Lucky if they make easter. Superstar area is the only place that has any base depths, besides bear which is a moot point anyway, They say lower skyship closes sunday, if it makes it though saturday which I doubt, With next weeks forecast of 70's at elevation not much will make it, 2 weeks of those temps and we will only be skiing off the superstar lift. Ma nature has been a real bitch this year.

Shawnee Mt. in the Poconos is still open. I'm likely going to get a pass there next year, and I must say, I'm impressed.

It's official, as of noon today, Greek Peak in central NY is done for the season. I'm not surprised, I was there yesterday and things looked pretty bleak. Glad I took the day off to ski there, it was better than I thought it would be.

I've skied Shawnee but once, it was because my friend was staying there. I was impressed with the terrain park. I don't use them, it looked great, like it belonged at a bigger mountain. It was a nice Spring day, I had fun. I was skiing Taos a couple days prior, talk about extremes.

Ha!

It's the closest ski area to me, they have a SkiBaby program for 3 year olds, and the early bird season pass price is the cheapest around at less than $300. It's a no brainer.

I can relate St. Bear, I'm a Greek Peak season pass holder, $325 per year, but I love to travel to ski also. I live exactly between Greek and Elk, and would love to alternate years, but Elk wants $735, too rich for my blood. I like Elk, going Sunday, will make day four there this year.

As much as it pains me to say it....Ski Sundown is closed as of 5pm

This thread = depressing as hell

 

[gmcunni]

[steamboat1]

Someone posted on TGR that Middlebury Snow Bowl will close tomorrow.

 

[jrmagic]

Add Magic to the closed list.

will be up there tomorrow as well...should be good

MRG closing tomorrow.

My bleak prediction is that by the end of this coming week there will be less than ten New England/New York ski areas still open.

Was up at Smuggs today and the word from the locals is that they plan to close after next weekend. Had a good time but many runs were quite boney. Good to have rock ski's. Love spring skiing but this is too early.
