Any resort making snow these days?

[New Daddy]

I've read in other threads that NE ski resorts generally stop making snow after the Presidents' Day weekend.
Are there any resorts that continue to make snow these days?
I'm planning a ski trip early next week and trying to figure out which will offer the best snow condition.

Blue mountain is still blowing snow, so is Jack Frost..and I would expect areas who receive the most natural snowfall between now and your trip to have the best condtions..

Saw on a TR that Killington had some guns running on a few trails (including all of Ovation) yesterday

Sr has been blaring them. I skied through them on Vortex and upper and lower down draft yesterday. I know cascades and excalbur are all being hit today as well as the others from yesterday. White heat got a bunch over the weekend, Risky business and amex as well. Some of south ridge too.. Snow making usually ends mid march.

edit I forgot Quantum leap and Northern lights as well.

Wachusett said they are going to keep blowing (snow that is) throughout February.

Gore was making snow on Monday.

Hunter was making snow this past weekend. They even blew a lot of Pow on Lower K27! This is the most I have seen them make snow so late in the season in many years!

Rouge Angel, Excalibur, and Lolla have all seen love from the guns this week as well.

Ya I skied through the rogue ones and excalibur, really only parts of the trails. I did not see the guns on lolla running. I saw in the snow report that lolla was getting some snow. I was not sure how much of it was getting the guns

.. Pretty strong attempt to keep it going. Crowds were quiet except Monday. That was not a black out date. Still pretty mellow.

Every thing was groomed flat getting ready for the strom. Look for Shokwave to open back up and eureka skied well also.

ow Escape got snow Friday night that was nice for night turns. 3d got it all day Friday too that was fantastic. 5 days all blended together.

Yeah, KMart has resurfaced:
Mouse Trap
Downdraft
Cascade
Ovation
Bittersweet
Outer Limits

They did a ton of spot resurfacing on the novice terrain. Great Eastern from the top of the Skyeship down to Skyeship base has a number of spots with fresh snow.

Wildcat was making it last Saturday. Boy, did they need to.

Top dressed everything except upper cloud, Upper and Lower mac, lookout below, and empire.

Everything else is all set up and ready to go.

We have some crazy lugers and bobsledders in town for the next two weeks as well

I am not sure current snowmaking is the best predictor of which resort will have the best snow conditions for your ski trip next week. Quite a lot of snow is falling in the northeast in this current storm so I think you would do better to choose an area that got a lot of snow in this storm and has the elevation and is far enough north to keep the snow conditions good. There is a 2/19 storm thread in the northeast weather forum with discussion of where the most snow is falling.

whiteface was making snow this week, i don't know if they are doing it now

Hidden Valley in Jersey is making snow at night as temps allow.

Blue mountain blew snow two days ago..

I know it is not in the Northeast but Mt Holly in SE Michigan blew snow last night 2/27 which is late they normally only stay open till St. Patrick's day
