2012-2013 Closings

Nov 17-May 5 is a lil over 5 1/2 months.... Yes they're Open in Nov & close in May, BUT - That doesn't mean that the season is actually 6 months long.... They'd have to make it to May 17, and we all know that that ain't gonna' happen....

I bet K makes it past that date.

I think some of you misunderstood my question. I have no doubt K will make it to May 11. Considering the amount of snow still on SS at this point June is a real possibility. My question was relating to their schedule of being open Fridays after daily operations stop on May 5. Their schedule says Fridays & weekends only starting May 11. May 11 is Saturday, will they be open Friday May 10? I'm pretty sure of the answer but the way the schedule is written it's not clear.

That's cause you don't speak marketing. Operating in Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr and May is 7 months and exactly why I loathe marketing professionals.

So K being open Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May & possibly June means they will be open for 9 months.

Impressive!!!!

After asking this question on KZone yesterday they changed their website today. They will be open Fridays & weekends starting May 10.

Heck, in the '97-'98 season, after the '96-'97 season concluded on June 23rd, they were marketing as I remember themselves as the 4 season SKI resort! Since in the '96-'97 ski season they started in the Fall and finished in the following Summer

Who's left out west? A-Basin closed this weekend. I couldn't find anything on Mammouth. Is Blackomb Glacier the only skiing left in North America now?

I haven't updated or checked recently, but this is what I wrote on my last Eastern Closing Thread of the season:

Liftserved options for next weekend in North America:
Ski Mad World isn’t limited to the East, where is what’s happening for the coming weekends for liftserved skiing on the continent. 6 ski areas across North America : 5 ski areas for next weekend then probably 3 until late June when Blackcomb reopens for Summer skiing.
Mammoth Mountain CA – June 1*
Arapahoe Basin CO – June 9*
Crystal Mountain WA – June 16
Beartooth Basin MT – July 13
Blackcomb/Whistler BC – June 22 to July 28
Timberline Lodge OR – September 3
*edit: May 29 5PM – Mammoth closing June 1 and A-Basin one week later

So the answer is no, there is 3 options until mid-July.
