Ski area closing dates 2008

[NortheastSlopesest.1936]

Slopes last day possible

Yeah, even though we have coverage, the hill is starting to drain off and that means the end for us rope tow goers! It always drains right into the lodge, meaning we need to get the doser in there this summer and fix the problem, then maybe we could run til we had no snow, not cause we can't get to the lodge or the tow due to the pond in the way. We are open today and chances are it's the last one, we open at 10am and close at 4:30pm, tickets are still only $12 for the day and $8 for 1/2 day, starting at 1:30pm. Load the kids up and come check us out while we are still open, it should be a great day at the slopes, look forward to meeting some new faces! Happy Skiing/Riding this glorious spring, it's been a good one that's for sure.

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

Wildcat is under the protection of the magical spell of the invisible forces created by the spirit field surrounding The Well of Eternity, which is located near Mount Washington.
The principles governing all that was, is, and wll ever be, are different in that place.
Once you cross the event horizon and fall into the grip of those places of tilted ground and solid water, all that you used to know about the things you used to call 'snow' and 'mountains' must be left behind.


Either that, or a lucky combination of factors lets Wildcat hold onto their snow and keep their loyal skiers coming, later in the season.

Magic is done as of today (4/6). This week's weather will take most of the remaining snow.

Thanks for the great season.

Consider Bromley done after today (4/6) too. Seems like they're closing on a good base, but it probably wouldn't have made it to the weekend anyway.

Thanks for all your contributions throughout the year!

Wachusett closed today... probably enough base on Conifer to hike it in May.

 

[Terry]

Shawnee Peak closed yesterday with 100% of their terrain still skiable. I will be hiking this week.

April School Vacation at Sugarbush

Win is asking folks on SkiMRV.com how many families may be interested in skiing if he reopened Sugarbush Lincoln Peak for midweek skiing April 21-25 (weekends on each side would also be open). Head over to that thread and cast your support if you think you and yours can come up for some awesome skiing.http://forums.skimrv.com/viewtopic.php?t=1449 The locals will thank you!

Ragged, Pats Peak are closed for the season.

Gunstock is closed for weekdays and will try to reopen next weekend.

Looks like the Bush will be extending daily operations until 4/27, weather permitting.

 

[Greg]

Jiminy is closed. Seems earlier than usual for them...

 

[Greg]

FYI, ADK fans:

--Whiteface will be closed today and tomorrow and will re-open Wednesday through Sunday.

--Gore is closed through Thursday and will re-open Friday through Sunday.

These will be the final days of an outstanding season at both mountains. Thank you for your continued coverage of our ski/ride facilities.

I just got Wildcats Newsletter. Here's a quote.

Oh yeah, if one more person asks me if I'm serious when I say we're shooting to stay open until the first weekend in May and perhaps even Mother's Day weekend if the conditions hold-up, trust me, we are serious. Holy smokes, it is snowing outside as I write this

Looks like Wildcat may be thee king of spring this year.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but from what I saw on Sunday, I think the 4th would be a stretch for Wildcat. Though the base on Catapult is pretty deep.

If they make it to Mothers day weekend, I'll be there that Saturday.
