Could get interesting based on the forcasted temps coming up (granted you need to take the longer range stuff with a grain of salt)

Thursday : 51/28
Friday: 67/51
Saturday: 80/55
Sunday: 83/51
Monday: 84/50
Tuesday: 74/49
Wednesday: 63/46
Thursday: 57/32
Friday: (May 1) 47/28
Saturday: 50/36

The only rain in the forcast once you get past tommorrow AM is for Wednesday when the warm/air airmass gets ushered out and replaced with a more seasonable airmass. Those 50+ degree low temps won't be doing the flat areas any good

I'm guessing Sugarloaf has a better shot of making it than Killington at the moment. That comment not made from first hand experience, but the fact that their have been recent TRs of skiing the snowfields, the snow is apparently holding up well.

Backside snowfields is pretty much toast, but the front side has lots of cover. SL's upper terrain has an unbelievable amount of snow, but the run out to the SuperQuad will need to be manufactured. Last weekend of the year last year there was wall-wall cover on all open trails from the top of Double Runner and up, but they only had four trails officially opened. Noting was really roped off, but the other terrain wasn't maintained, patrolled, or groomed. That would normally be a good thing if not for an overnight freeze, Which made for a really crusty ride down Gondi Line!
