Open to the public only on certain days. Went a few years ago. Small and not steep. Kids were young at the time, so was still fun.

If you look online and find their seasonal brochure, you'll get the info. I think gen pop is weekdays only, and its only open 3pm to 9pm on weekdays. BUT, fun little place, close to home, and a really good bar / restaurant overlooking the hill. We went once when they had some sort of "open house."

Plus it's one of the few places left where you can subject your kids to the rite of passage that is the rope tow (magic carpet is for sissies!).

So what's the deal with the former Suicide Six? They abruptly announced that they were not opening Sunday and that they are closing next weekend. Folks are saying that there is something going on there that is not weather/conditions related.

Ski Sundown, Mohawk Mtn, and Thunder Ridge are all looking to go at least another week. Yawgoo closed last week. Blue Hills hasn't said anything about closing and was open today. Nashoba closed today, Ward/Bradford appear to be closed.
Blue Hills announced they are opening Tuesday. Nothing announced beyond that.

I drove by Ski Ward on Tuesday and can confirm the sign says "Thanks for a great season, see you in May". A little bit of a bummer since there is still very good trail coverage top to bottom but this is typically when they wrap up.

Sun 3/26 last day for Blue, Shawnee and Elk
Sun 4/2 for JFrost and Camelback
I'm hoping Camelback will honor Blue passes for the extra week, but they probably don't want to risk angering the two or three people who purchased the add-on....

Crotched is closing Sunday with everything open, deepest in years including all glades and side country. Lame. Today was great. Pat's Peak while closing Sunday is now teasing an extra weekend if it's good weather.

Vail sucks. No excuse not to run any mountain in Northern New England until the first weekend in April.

Wildcat's calendar for purchasing lift tickets below. Looks like weekends only after the 9th, and then done on the 16th. They're buried in snow. Fuck Vail, indeed.

Vail does suck but they are the only mountains in the mwv open every midweek day next week. I can’t remember a time I could still cross country ski out my door but the ski areas are closed
