Closing Day

[heavysquad4]

Have they set an official closing day? Some people have been saying May 5th, but they aren't selling day tickets in May yet.

[High Ball]

The notice that went out on the West Mountain chair running, referenced a closing date of 5/4, but as we all know a lot can change before then.

[Glade Monkey]

Place your bets!

Saddleback is closing 4/14

Sunday River is closing 4/28

K-Mart selling weekend lift tix through end of May

Last Sugarloaf winter “event” showing after reggae, pond skimming and passholder BBQ is Maine Day 4/24. I can’t find their spring schedule yet. Latest day tickets are now on sale is 4/28

[Glade Monkey]

Dialed back to 5 lifts midweek as of today 4/15

“…we are rolling into our spring operating schedule which means reduced lifts… Snubber, Skidway, SuperQuad, Skyline, and Timberline.”

these guys seem to have been tracking it lately. Didn't make it to May last year nor the early close due to Covid in 2020 and that would have been a great spring!

Looks like Cinco de Mayo is the planned last day this season

considering April 30 was a sunday last year i'd say my memory and sugarloaf's performance is pretty good!

The Snubber mid-station is closed for lack of snow, so you need to go all the way down to Snowbrook to get on. Don’t see it lasting more than a couple days longer. It’s rough by the health club and more mud than snow at this point.

I fail to understand why we couldn't load Snubber mid on Monday. Unloading was not possible, but loading seemed to be, over the white plastic strips. I would like to understand the rationale for the decision.

I can imagine a requirement that if you can load you must also be able to ski out of a botched load.

[r1900]

A botched load might have given the two lifties sitting in the shack something to do.

[heavysquad4]

Still can't buy May lift tickets online

[Pow on the Mao]

May 5. but says weather dependent.

[Mr. Vesper]

Mountain will close the day after they have sold no tickets.

[Glade Monkey]
