It really depresses me that this thread is growing... And also that I will not get to ski whaleback, when I had ample opportunity to do so and never bothered. On the bright side, there is still PLENTY of more skiing left this weekend and next weekend.

Bostonian - go to NVT

Sugarbush (just now) - " We still have 100% of the terrain at Lincoln Peak open. We'll stay open as long as we have snow to ski and ride on!"

I expect Stowe to do the same.

Definitely not. I've seen Stowe close plenty of seasons with most of the Mansfield side terrain still open; even the epic winter of 2000-2001. They've never been a late season player. 3rd weekend of April is pretty much always it for them. I'd be very surprised if they went past the 21st this season.

Sunday River's snow report says that their last day is 4/21, and that Jordan, Aurora and white cap are closing after the 14th.

^ I'll take it. Word on the street at the River yesterday was that closing day/Ski Mainia/free-skiing day was on April 15. Perhaps, last night's snow made them push for another week. Yeah, River!

I did not think the River would close the 14th or 15th. They always under promise and over deliver. The May days are gone though, with Loaf being the last to close on the pass.

Keeping Jordan open that late is good stuff. I'm at Loon this morning and am surprised South Peak is open.

Actually according to the daily report these areas close after this weekend (April 7). I think you are confusing that with the end of weekday operations.

*edit: whoaa my grammar!*

Maybe they changed the report? :dontknow:

Probably my bad, sorry for the confusion. Looks like they are consolidating after this weekend. Thought that they would keep White Heat open later than the 7th.
