A few corrections above...

Looks like this is the last weekend of lift served skiing in New York.

Plattekill: April 15
Bristol: still to be determined for this weekend.
Gore: April 22
Whiteface: April 22

Here is this week's list...for New York and Eastern ski areas beyond NYS's borders.

Confirmation from Bristol, they will be open this weekend.

Plattekill was open on 4/15 and didn't open this weekend.

Whiteface just extended to next weekend 4/29.

Gore confirmed tomorrow is closing day.

Bristol was open Sat. and Sun. 4/21 4/22. The Bristol owner wants to open this coming weekend 4/28 and 4/29.

Yep, Dan Fuller wants "braggin' rights" as the first to open and last to close in NY. I was there Saturday and Sunday-two beautiful sunny days. Most trails are getting thin, but they should be able to keep Rocket and maybe the loop going. Rumor is he wants to be open on Tuesday May 1st to set a record. We'll see what the weather brings.

Nothin better than GMs duking it out for braggin rights.

why is Plattekill marked as closing 4/08? I thought they closed 4/15

Bristol is still tentative for this week.
Whiteface is a go for one last weekend.

Eastern Closing 2018 : Spring has sprung – Week 5
https://madpatski.wordpress.com/2018/04/24/eastern-closing-2018-spring-has-sprung-week-5/

Bristol won't reopen this weekend so Whiteface wins in NY.

Bristol DID open yesterday 5/1/2018, so unless Whiteface opens next weekend Bristol wins.

Wasn't too bad (especially for May 1st) although it got pretty muddy and slushy by 11:00.....

Looked like the cover was good at Bristol.

Whiteface opening this Saturday.

I was away from a computer for a few days. Here is the latest list posted on the blog earlier this week with today's edits:

Eastern Closing 2018: May!!! - Week 6
https://madpatski.wordpress.com/2018/05/01/eastern-closing-2018-may-week-6/

Vermont : 3 (2 daily)
New York : 2 (Bristol May 1 only)
Quebec : 1
Maine : 1
Ontario : 1 (May 1 only)

Consistent as Mothers’ Day Skiing (again) – Eastern Closing Thread 2018 – Week 7

Here is this week's post. As mentioned above, Jay was hoping to add an extra weekend, but Mother Nature had other plans for Mothers' Day at Jay Peak.

So again this season, it comes down to St-Sauveur and Killington. MSS decided to open tomorrow Friday.

We still have a few options in the East, even if you want to ride a chairlift...and both ski areas are looking beyond this weekend.

Anyhow here is my rundown of who is spinning this weekend, most likely my last Eastern Closing post of the season.

The title says it all. K is officially calling a season on Saturday will MSS is still planning to spin until Sunday.

The end is near - Eastern Closing 2018 - Week 9 and possibly last

Thanks for including a historical summary for Killington and the other four ski resorts in the northeast that typically stay open after mid-April.  I didn't pay attention to northeast skiing until recently.  Didn't realize that Killington typically opened in October until about 2003.  It's the only place I've skied before Thanksgiving.

I try to make it there for Veterans Day, did not this year due to weather. I am usually done after Easter. Growing up in the South I can’t break the feeling that Spring begins on March 15
