2023-2024 Closing Thread

Ski Ward is officially done but this is close to their typical close date the past few years. the main slope is still fully covered edge to edge and skiers right of the lift is still uninterrupted top to bottom but not quite full width. I should have grabbed a pic when I drove by this AM. Tons of snow still in the tubing park. If they wanted to stay open they could, so obviously the decision is mostly based on the financials rather than lack of snow. unlike many other southern mountains such as Nashoba which looks very interrupted top to bottom from what you could see from 495 as of Sunday.

Crotched Mountain officially declared Mar. 24 as the last day of its season. As best as I can tell, it's for lack of skiers - not lack of snow. While CM has 2 1/2 of its 25 trails closed, all could be re-opened if management wanted to push around a little snow.

The 24th is still a ways off to know what the snow situation will be then. Another rough week in store.

Mount Southington is done for the Season.

I was a bit surprised by the lack of skiers at MRG on Sunday. Granted, many left before the power came back on. But I don't think the parking lot was every more than 2/3 full, at most (maybe less). Probably more skiers on Monday for the two-day total.

But... for a Sunday storm day in early March, that is wild and shows that many skiers have already checked out... especially those that have not seen snow in their backyard for a month or more.

Hopefully, the northern areas with more snow will still go the distance. Cannon is still below 50% of their annual average. Only NoVT got enough from the recent storm to make a significant impact on the next month or two.

Very light crowds at Magic and Bromley. Too light. I heard Stratton was busy Sunday morning.

Ski Sundown doesn't have a closing date. Next week is forecast to be cold. At least for the first half. If there open midweek. I might try to get a adaptive skiing lesson. I need frozen snow for the brake to work.

Butternut is closing tomorrow.

Ski Sundown is opened through 3/24. I'm going to try to get a lesson on 3/22.

Blue Hills is closed and Tenney’s last day was today. I skied Waterville Saturday and today and there was still plenty to ski

Quietman

skied Mt Abrams both Sat and Sun afternoons. I was good coverage on Sat and Sun and even skied a couple of natural trails. Nice vibe for both days, but sunday was definitely after the am showers. Learned to ski here 40 years and ago, and was happy to give them some$ support.

I generally start the closing thread prior to the 1st weekend in April. That being said, I definitely expect a lower of number still open as I start the weekly blog posts.

For example, in my part of the World (I live in Ottawa):
Vorlage closed March 10 a few weeks earlier that normal.
Pakenham closed March 17.
Cascades, March 31
Edelweiss, open this weekend - TBD weekend only
Ste-Marie, open Fri-Sun - TBD Fri-Sun only
Calabogie, TBD
Fortune, TBD
Mont Chilly never opened this season.

Hey that's cool. I was there for a birthday party at the west base and made a few turns Saturday. It got a bit sticky in the afternoon, I think I needed klister :D
