So here we are on March 6th... and the reality is setting in, spring and summer are around the corner. I have only skied 15 times this year, and my goal is to get 5 more outtings in before the end of the season. But I don't know how likely that is :( When are you guys thinking of hanging it up for the season? I am pushing for mid April... :oops:

On the flip side, next year I plan on investing in a seasons pass at Blue Hills in canton, since I am moving to west roxbury... Only 15 minutes or so from Blue hills, which means plenty of turns all winter long just to get out there when I want to. I think I may invest in one over at Sunapee too.

I have seen this here and elsewhere. Ski Season is getting to its best point. March and April are the best Snow months with the nice long days and geat temps. My last day will be full of mud and bugs and around 3 months away. I'll probably have my pool open before I am done.

I will be satisfied if I can ski through the weekend of April 17th-19th. If the season ends (i.e. places up North do not have bumps/decent coverage) before that, I will be disappointed. If it goes longer than that, I will be very happy!

Unfortunately, I will most likely end by the end of March or sooner...once the kids' spring soccer season kicks in it's hard to get out. The rest of the family is already mentally done, even though I keep telling them that now is the best time of the season...:roll:

I only have a few times out left for the season, but I do plan on getting in at least two days in April. Good Friday may be my last day on skis.

I'm going to ski until the lifts stop spinning. And earn turns for as long as the snow lasts afterwards.

Lift served until first weekend of May (guessed closing weekend)
Probably a couple times earning turns after that
Finally end on June 20 at Whistler.

Seriously, who starts this thread in the first week of March? We've still got 50" of snow to fall yet!

i'll probably get out until Mt. Snow or killington closes the doors, whichever place stays open longer.

Really really really really hoping for a may closing for killington.

I miss the superstar bump fest in may. personally, i think its some of the best times to be had skiing. Upper headwall usually has some sick lines over the the skiers left. middle is a mush fest and then you get the longer pitch at the bottom to just let 'em run.

i'm salivating thinking about it.

Can we just re-launch this thread in May instead of answering?
