2012-2013 Closings

[Edd]

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

That sounds more normal. Too bad I won't make it there before then.

Did they not just make snow on white heat a few weeks ago? Thought that was a sign they were going to run it until closing. Hows coverage on white cap?

The coverage on White Cap is great. I wouldn't be surprised if they reopen the White Heat Quad for the weekend of the 13/14. I would imagine it will be a ghost town midweek next week, so they probably want to consoldate operations considerably. I wouldn't be surprised if they consoldate down to just Barker for the final weekend, but this is all just speculation on my part. By all accounts the weekend of the 20/21 is a bonus though, so I am psyched!

Hopefully you are right. Didn't that happen 2 or 3 years ago?

Yeah, that is part of what I am going on. They also tend to listen to their customers, and if the weather continues to cooperate I think a lot of people will be asking for that.

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.

Just got an e-mail from Stowe. They're scheduled to close the 21st. After this weekend tickets will be only $49 with auto re-load.

That is sweet because I am going to go to there. Them's Saddleback prices! Hell hath frozen over!

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

This is the last week for South Peak at Loon. Keep getting it while it's still good!

Apparently you have to register ahead of time.

I have no idea how much the resort charge & taxes are.

Here's the info from their website:

My bad earlier. They haven't said anything about when White Cap will close. The only parts of the mountain they have said will close after this weekend is Aurora and Jordan Bowl. Nothing about White Cap.

On a different note,Cannon is actually opening up more terrain with Mittersill running today.Impressive.

Their current report(today's) does say that White Cap will close after this weekend.

We'll be open on all eight peaks through this weekend for Parrothead Festival. We will be closing lift access to Jordan Bowl, Aurora Peak, and White Cap following the weekend

It's my turn to start my annual posts on the Eastern Closings.

Go skiing this weekend!!! Great skiing still happening!!!
It’s that time again, time for Ski Mad World to look at his skiing options for the next few weekends. This is Part 1 of the 2012-2013 Eastern Closing Thread.
This first compilation took me a long time to prepare, so I’ll be short on words. There are many places to choose from this weekend. A snowy winter and cold Spring has helped preserved snow surfaces into April.
After last season’s mid-March Record Heatwave that killed the ski season for many areas; we entered the first weekend of April 2012 with only 20 ski areas still operating. This weekend we are looking at over 100 ski areas (almost half in Québec) across the East from Thunder Bay, Ontario to Labrador down to Virginia (Midwest not included).
For a good number of ski areas remaining, this is their last weekend. Go out and encourage them. I’ll be back late next week to give an update on who’s left for the second weekend in April. Hoping to continue the Eastern Closing thread well into May.

A lot of resorts will be closing with tons of snow still on the hill. Drove by Sundown yesterday on my way back from VT, first time I've seen that much snow on the hill this late in the season.
