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.

Yup, was there Sat night. Awesome conditions. Hell, even all the glades where open.

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

Sundown may reopen next weekend, weather dependent. Stay tuned!

Rumor has it that Jiminy will be open daily until April 6th and then just weekends for as long as it lasts. They have already ceased night operations.

I effin' hate this thread, hated it when it started and still hate it even though it's now April. I refuse to post a ski area closing date. I am however happy to quote the Crotched snow report:

We will be offering weekday prices all weekend...every weekend until the end of the season. Who knows when that will be...hopefully never.

'at's the spirit. And they blew a helluva lot of snow there, including to soften the surface after the President's Day rain/ice, so aside from the fairly southerly latitude they're pretty well positioned to go deep.

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. :oops:

Ooo glad you posted this....thx

Looks like May for Wildcat from this press release:

While other resorts are reporting closing dates we remain rather aloof about the whole thing and will leave it mostly up to the conditions and snowpack to determine a closing date. Could we again go in to May before pulling the plug on this season? The old, magic 8 ball purply liquid, pyramid thingy says, 'Outcome Favorable', but for now, keep checking out Liftopia at www.liftopia.com (or click on Liftopia logo right on the Wildcat home page) to purchase late season discount lift tickets. Don't miss any surprising advanced lift ticket purchase opportunities at Wildcat with Liftopia for most every day remaining this season

WILDCAT RULES!!!

Seriously, all these resorts that cry poverty who have a zillion income streams coming in from real estate sales and close up early. The Cat has none of that and yet it goes until the snow is gone. I love that place

Butternut was planning on opening this weekend but today's rain wiped 'em out. I think that means their last day of operation was Sunday, March 30. That was Catamount's last day, too.
