Stowe has stayed open a few times into May over the years but last few years if mid ish April. Staying open later is not a money maker and is why many others close when there’s still snow on the slopes.

It's been a good run since mid march for N VT. The snow stake was tracking 20-21 winter until that point. Still well below average though.
March 21 might have been the shittiest march of all time
I'll make the argument that it increases the value of a pass. People want to have options till the bitter end and if vail wants to charge more and not lowball all they have to do is have one early season place and one late season one. In the grand scheme of things it's not gonna break the bank.
I guess I'll be skiing jay this week...

I was wondering the same thing
A letter from the GM:
I’m Bobby Murphy, general manager here at Stowe Mountain Resort, and I’d like to share an update on a topic that’s been on a lot of people’s minds this season.
We are proud to be a popular destination for skiing and riding, but we recognize that traffic is a key challenge. I’ve been asked what we can do to improve the flow of guests into and out of the resort. What can we do to help reduce traffic congestion, increase carpooling, and increase the use of public transit to the resort? How can our operations help change behavior? In response to this, Stowe Mountain Resort will implement a new parking plan for the 2022-23 winter season which includes free and paid parking, new payment strategies and special incentives for those who choose to carpool.
Parking will remain free at all lots Monday through Thursday during non-holiday periods, and at all lots after 2pm. Paid parking will be implemented Friday through Sunday and holidays at all lots, except at the Cross Country Center and Toll House area lots which will remain free seven days a week. Free parking will also be offered at all times in all lots to cars arriving with four or more guests, which we hope encourages carpooling. Additionally, payment can be made via a smartphone app or on-site kiosks to help ensure faster, more efficient parking, especially at our busiest times.
By encouraging more people to use public transport, carpool or visit during non-peak times, we hope to move congestion off of the two-lane road leading to the resort and from our main lots.
In addition, we are ramping up our partnership with Green Mountain Transit, with proceeds from our paid parking going toward additional buses and capacity as well as toward our own resort shuttle system to improve public transportation in and around the resort.
We thank you for your understanding as we strive to create smoother arrivals and departures at our resort. We’ll be releasing additional details about the plan soon.
Thank you,
Bobby

It sucks at first. Figure out if they're going to offer some season parking passes (they typically will in a not so publicized manor) and get one if you can.
Made a positive difference on all but a few days all season at Mount Snow from my experience. Helped "divert" some Epic passholders who didn't want to pay for parking, which was a de factor way to reduce peal crowds without limiting access. Also let me park very close all season long, even if I was running a bit late.
Let 2nd year of paid parking bitching begin!

No that sucks in general. Regular weekenders have to deal with a crowding problem produced by the cheap pass and now will have to pay more to ski to fix the problem. Well unless you car pool or switch to midweek. I hope that never happens at Sugarbush.
Except for the fact that there have been numerous reports on here that Mt Snow had days where there was no shuttle available from the free lots
IMO, if they can't staff the shuttle, paid parking should be waived for the day.
Such a bullshit money grab.
Not gonna do a damn thing about traffic.
The only people it benefits are weekenders with too much money to burn.
Sorry Dr. Jeff but you’re exactly who they’re trying to get money from, doesn’t effect you but effects us poors. Not coming at you either it definitely is nice for the wealthier patrons of Epic resorts but it’s unnecessary bs that doesn’t help anyone else or alleviate traffic issues. Also its de facto for future references.

Wanna reiterate I’m not trying to attack you Doc but you’re seeing this through your privilege goggles.
I understand a company’s goal is to make money but Vail has this bs rhetoric of inclusivity and equality and this is the opposite. A few rows of premier parking is one thing but when entire lots are its excessive gaper catering money grabs.
