NY Ski Area Closing Dates (2013)

Harvey44 wrote

And I said it again.  It is as official as it can get at this time.  Which doesn't make it official.

All the dates taken on my post (New York and other wise (inside the link)) are taken straight (with very few exception) from the ski areas website, FB page or a good source with the area.

It's official official tonight. Lifties have been called in.

Bristol has confirmed they will open this weekend.

Whiteface is aiming to be open next weekend April 21 (Fri-Sun).

I'll work on publishing Part 3 sometimes mid-week.

Gore is also moving to add an extra weekend: April 21

Here is the added comment I put on my Closing Thread Part 2

Sunday afternoon update:

A few ski areas decided to try to get an extra weekend and make to April 21. The list is still preliminary now, but here are the one talking about trying to move their closing day:

QC: Édouard
ON: Blue Mtn
NY :Gore, Whiteface
VT: Snow

A full and complete update will be made for Part 3 of the Eastern Closing Thread which should be up by midweek.

A potential of 26 across the East.

NY : 2 (Gore, WF)
VT : 5 (Jay, Stowe, Bush, K, Snow)
NH : 1 (Wcat)
ME : 3 (SR, Saddle, Loaf)
PA : 1 (BB)
ON : 1 (Blue)
Labrador : 1 (Smokey?)
QC: 12 (Vid, MSS, Avila, Sutton, Orford, MSA, MDS, Ed, Val, Comi, Miller, Chalco?)

No more skiing in New York, but still plenty of options for this weekend. Last year for the coming weekend, the entire East had only 3 runs open across two ski areas in two different country. This year's count for this coming weekend is 9 (probably).

Quebec : 4 (each are at least 100 miles apart from each other)
Ontario : 1 (far from here)
Vermont : 3
Maine : 1

5 are committed to open in May (Jay, SB, K, SL & MSS), 3 are mentioned or hinted at least 2 weekend in May. In contrast with last year's terrible end, only MSS survived into May.

I'm so sad that there is no skiing left nearby for the year.   oh well.  I will just have to wait [im]patiently for next year!

MY last two updates - its been a great Spring for prolonging the season. Sunday was incredibly ... hot.

For people still looking to make some turns with the aid of a chairlift within driving distance from NY.

K still talking a tentative June 2 closing.
St-Sauveur has confirmed that it was going to be open for Victoria Day (Monday), May 20. No official word if it is the last day. Their schedule last day was May 12.

Bunch of info and geek stuff on my latest update.

The latest update...warm and heavy rain has washed hopes for extra full weekend or June turns away.

No Encore at St-Sauveur (they made the call last night that it was it)
Last Call at Killington (made the call that Sat-Sun was it...walking required and free)

Then there is still some earn-turns.

Okay here is my last post of the Eastern Closing Thread.

Thoughts on the end of season, Eastern liftserved and beyond (oe. Not East or not liftserved).

Some geeky analysis on previous dates and stuff. Some of you might be interested.
