I would say, and I'm making the assumption that we'll have "normal" temps/weather the next month 
That you'll have Mount Snow, Killington, Sugarbush and probaly Jay in VT
Likely Wildcat, maybe Loon + Brettonwoods in NH
Sunday River, The Loaf and probably Saddleback in Maine.
I'd also say that it's a safe bet that not everyone that still may be open that week will be operating mid-week
But the reality of the modern ski industry, as has already started in Southern New England is that season closings from lack of daily volume (and for a few after this past weekends deluge lack of snow) have already started, and we're realistically 3 weekends away from mass closings (Easter weekend) across New England

Let's keep our fingers crossed that there is still plenty of terrain open up north in late April. Keep in mind that the mountains that are still open will have fewer trails open and lifts operating than mid season.

Sugarbush generally stays open that week specifically for school break. Win can chime in if he has other plans.

SR is saying an April 19 (Patriot's Day) close with free skiing. So why not ski for free on the 19th then head to the Loaf for the rest of the week? I remember closing day at SR last year and there was a ton of stuff to be skied.
As stated the usual suspects Sugarloaf, Sugarbush, Jay Peak, Stowe, Killington. Wild card: Saddleback.

Mount Snow just had Carinthia open last year during spring break. Lots of mountains close with plenty of snow to ski just not enough skiers to run lifts.

Sugarloaf has the season pass holders bbq scheduled for 4/25, so they are definitely planning on being open at least through then, weather permitting. They are also promoting Boyne passholders deals on the Sunday River website for lodging at Sugarloaf after they close on the 19th. I suspect Sugarloaf will try to stay open until at least the 1st weekend in May.
Not to be a downer, but the weather better start to cooperate or many resorts seasons are going to be cut short. 50's and sunny every day with sporadic rain will take it's toll quickly. Still plenty of time for a return to winter though.

I see. Didn't know we did the same thing. In that case, head to Northern VT. I think the Bush is your safest bet.

Yeah, the Cat came out yesterday and hinted at a May closing date if all works out.
