Campgaw in NJ is closed for the season, a couple of days ago their website said they might be open Friday through Sunday this weekend but I guess the deluge yesterday made up their minds for them. On an interesting note somebody mentioned Blue Hills in this thread, they are now run by Ski Campgaw Management LLC which is the management company of Campgaw (Campgaw is owned by the County of Bergen).

Nashoba Valley is shut down, though it still had top to bottom and edge to edge cover when we drove past it this evening.

From a recent Pats Peak e-mail:

Our record ski season marches on and instead of closing on Easter Sunday as originally planned we are going to continue operations.
The web site is now more specific...they plan to be open through next Sunday, 30 March.

My guess is that they won't go any later than that.

Chris, and the phone Snow Report state that they will continue on weekend schedule for as long as:

1) Crotched has snow
2) People are still skiing.

People means plural, and more then 2, obv. :-D

I'm considering a skip trip for 4/20 - 24. I see that resorts possibly open are Sugarloaf, Sunday River, Jay Peak. Any other possiblities?

Now Mountain Creek and Hidden Valley in NJ are closed so skiing is done for the season in NJ. Actually I assume Hidden Valley is closed for the season, their website says that it's closed today but doesn't say anything about any other days. That leaves Mt. Peter as the only local mountain open. Tomorrow I'll be going to Camelback to use my Hidden Valley pass to get a free ticket and then it will probably be Belleayre for the rest of the season for me.

man i have a feeling there will be no may skiing within reach for me this year. No way can i truck it to maine if sugarloaf or s. river stay open. sugarbush looks like they are going to go to the 20th and then play it be ear. steins has a big ole pile of snow on it but they have to run the bravo so there is more terrain that can potentially burn out and kill the fun.


somebody needs to step up to the plate here.

I'm hoping Mount Snow surprises us. Haven't been there since November and have no idea what the snowpack is like, but I could see going well into April there. Maybe they will even download and offer a late Chute/Upper Canyon/River Run loop.

I don't know how Mount Snow looks but they said that they will stay open until it's un-skiable there or people stop coming.

Same deal with steamboat. They broke an all-time record already this year, they are closing april 6th.

I'm pretty certain that Steamboat is required to close by a certain date in April due to spring animal migration... Not sure about JH..
