Ski area closing dates 2008

Sugarloaf could easily make it into the second week in May or beyond as the upper mountain is buried in snow and hardly getting above freezing.

whether it's the Loaf or Wildcat....don't care

I'm hoping to make it out on the 10th. Unfortunately, the 11th, Mother's day, I'll be working

Wildcat is finished as of today, their hopes of making it to the first weekend in May done in by the long stretch of warm weather. The precip forecast for early this week could not have helped.

Sugarbush now sounds doubtful for next weekend but is holding out hope. Jay also isn't ruling out next weekend but admits the weather forecast is difficult.

Which would leave Sugarloaf as the last mountain in the East with lift-served for next weekend. From what I saw Friday they definitely should have enough cover on certain snowmaking trails to get there, especially if it gets cold enough for groomers to patch up the base area and thin spots on Spillway X-cut -- as it's forecast to later in the week.

It's still a possibility for this weekend, decision will be made on Thursday. Stay tuned.

Loaf today had 3 trails hayburner, skidder and kings' landing all 3 had enough snow to make it for a bit. I plan on going friday and Sat. Had planned on wildcat on Sunday. May make another day at the Loaf know. Props for being open. Ssome smart planning to have so much base even with the weather we have had recently.

As of 11:24 a.m. today Jay now says:

It's been snowing, heavily, for a few hours at this point and that's all we need to see; we're opening this weekend

edit: missed the separate thread on this ...
