Ski area closing dates 2008

[madskier6]

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 completely agree. I hope somebody steps up. I will say, however, that Bush does not need to run Bravo to serve Stein's Run. Last year they only used the Valley House Double to serve that run + Spring Fling in early May & it worked fine.

This year it looks like Super Bravo will be the lift of choice.

Right. VH is on the DL. They've made additional snow on the traverse and can push up snow from Murphy's if need be to maintain access to Stein's.

Hunter Closing 4/13...

Do they usually operate 7 days/week until closing or do they ever go into a weekend mode?

Any more news on the river?

April 27 is the planned day and has been posted on the message board. Again depending on how long the snow holds.

We are pushing for a weekend in May.:-D looks like it probably will have to be the loaf for lift serviced May turns.

Killington has extended their season:

Spring Skiing until April 20th!

Due to great snow conditions and business levels we’re adding a week on to the end of the season. Spring has yet to make an appearance here at Killington, but with the season going until April 20th, we’ll have plenty of days to harvest that famous spring corn snow! We’ll be offering late-season ticket prices beginning Monday and right through closing day on Sunday, April 20th. Check the Snow Report for daily rate and conditions information.

Edit - oops, it was dupe.

Comments: IMPORTANT NEWS: Winter's not letting go this year, so Bretton Woods plans to extend its alpine closing date until April 20th! With a base of 55 - 65 inches at the end of March it will surely be an amazing April for Spring skiing and riding!

I got the same email, why was it a dupe?

Well this sucks. I'm out of town from April 20 - April 27.

Hoping someone stays open into May. Don't want my season to end April 19 .

I emailed them and asked if they were going to close on weekdays, and got a message back that they had extended the season to 4/ 13, but the employee, Jennifer Pezak, ignored the question about closing on weekdays.

I'll contact them again.

Shawnee Peak extended there closing date to April 6th. They will be closed during the week though.

 

[Greg]

The mighty Ski Sundown closes today for the season at 6 pm. I'll be there this afternoon to enjoy the finale.

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.

*UPDATE*

They lied.

Our planned hours of operation for this week are:
Sunday, March 30: 8:30am - 4pm
Saturday, April 5: 8:30am - 10pm – Yes, we will be open for Night Skiing and offering our Saturday Night POP ticket!!
Sunday, April 6: 8:30am to 4pm

Nope...I guessed wrong.

Was there today for my last day of the season...conditions were great. They should have plenty of snow for next weekend.
