Add Labrador to the list.  It looks like their last day open was 3/17 according to their FB page.

Hey guys - Can we add Killington?  I know alot of the Dakers go there.

Selfishly, there was a pre-arranged family trip for the Saturday before Memorial day heading to the Stowe area.  I am wondering if Killington will be an option of 5/27 or 5/28.  On the snow says as of 4/4 their projected close date is 5/28
You need to check out the entire Eastern Closing list:

Killington officially got the "J" month as a target. And another 5 have mentioned May.

There might be only 6 ski areas still open in New York this weekend, but there are many more just outside the state's borders.

Plattekill – April 8 (tentative Saturday only)
Woods Valley – April 9 (tentative – Friday-Sunday only)
Hunter – April 9 (weekend only)
Belleayre – April 16 (tentative – Friday-Sunday only)
Whiteface – April 16 or more (tentative. After next Monday, will reopen on weekend only)
Gore – TBD


Still 98 ski areas in the East still hoping to spin this weekend:

Québec : 48
Vermont : 13
New Hampshire : 9
New York : 6
Maine : 5
Ontario, Newfoundland & Labrador, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia & Massachusetts : 2 each
Pennsylvania : 1

Thanks. Unfortunately the blog has been super quiet over the last two years, hoping to get the energy to add stuff.

Here is this week's blog post. A quick version, we are down to 2 (MSS and K).

I didn't post on NYSB last week as I was out skiing in Alberta.

It ain't over... ski season is never over, you just have to go further to find snow.

***Update: Friday May 19, 3:00pm: The MSS crew couldn't save the snow; the heatwave killed St-Sauveur season this week. MSS's last day was Saturday May 13.

K has the only lift spinning.

I believe I might have a date... but now I need to go to bed as I might have plans tomorrow (I look into it this weekend). If it's not crazy wet tomorrow, I'll head down to K town tomorrow morning for late turns. After that, midweek (somewhere between May 30 and June 2) in the US: Otto Rhodes and/or Kmart if they respin.

Here is this week's rundown:

This is what I have/found....

Peek N Peak : last weekend was March 25-26
Willard – April 2 (extremely tentative – weekend only) as written in my first Closing Thread post week 1. It does seem like they were open that weekend.

Hope this helps.
