Arapahoe Basin, Colorado, USA will be open for the first couple of weekends in June, and maybe beyond.
Where to Ski in June 2025
June sees the southern hemisphere's 2025 season get underway after mixed signs in May. Most ski areas in Australia, New Zealand, the Andes, and Southern Africa's Lesotho will be open by the end of the month, with the majority starting their seasons in the third or fourth week of June.
In the northern hemisphere, about 20 ski areas are operating in Europe, Asia and North America, most of them still going from last autumn. However, we're also now seeing the first resorts re-opening for summer skiing along with a few 'summer only' operations getting underway in Italy, Norway and Wyoming.
Altogether we should go from around 20 ski areas on three continents open as we start the month to nearer 100 ski areas open on six continents (something that only happens for about four weeks of the year) by the end of June.
Australasia / Oceania
Australia
Australia's ski season is due to begin on 7th June with the traditional start tied to a long holiday weekend to celebrate King Charles III's birthday (the holiday is Monday 9th although his birthday isn't).
Most ski areas in the country will open then, regardless of snow conditions.
The two that are guaranteed snow are Mount Buller, with five SnowFactory all-weather snowmaking machines and Corin Forest, with a new machine for this winter.
Elsewhere, the latter half of May has seen some light snowfalls and overnight lows that have enabled snowmaking systems to fire up, so anticipation levels are high!
New Zealand
New Zealand's 2025 winter season has started early, thanks to some big autumn snowfalls, particularly in the first half of May.
Mount Hutt should be open for the weekend of the 7th June, and then open every day from 14th (snow permittig).
Most of the rest of the country's ski areas plan to open as scheduled from mid-June, although a few, including Whakapapa on the North Island, have all-weather snowmaking machines and are opening limited early terrain from the start of the month for snow play and beginners.
South America
Argentina
Argentina's ski season is likely to start in the middle of June with the Catedral ski area near Bariloche, South America's largest, due to start its season on the 14th, and most of the rest of the country's ski areas expected to join in a week later.
There have been some promising early snowfalls this year but nothing like those huge accumulations of 2024, so currently early opening is looking less likely. But things can change quickly.
Chile
Chile saw some good snowfalls in the latter half of May with Portillo among the areas posting accumulations of up to 40cm in 24 hours. However, like Argentina, these did not match the falls of many metres in May 2024 that saw most Chillean areas open early, by the start of June, last year.
At present, most ski areas should open by the third weekend of the month, around the 20th.
Africa
Lesotho
Lesotho Afriski Centre has a season that officially runs from June 1st to august 31st. It rarely opens on June 1st however, last year it was about a week in. Temperatures have been getting below freezing overnight in the final days of May, and there were a few brief snow coverings last month.
Snowmaking is required to create the main run here in.
Europe
The Alps
We had dropped down to four glacier ski areas still open in the Alps as we reached the final weekend of May, but a fifth, Italy's Stelvio Glacier, opened for its long 2025 summer season (to 2nd November) on the final day of the month.
Two more summer glacier ski areas, this time in France, Val d'Isere and Tignes, are due to start their short (4-5 week) summer ski seasons on the 7th and 21st of June respectively.
The only currently open area due to close this month is Austria's Molltal Glacier in Carinthia, due to close on the 8th, which means we should end the month with more centres open (6) than we start (5)!
That's all weather permitting, of course; snow depths are currently 'moderate' on glaciers for early June and there have been snowfalls and temperatures close to freezing above 2500m for prolonged periods in late May, so it's really down to how fast things warm up and how hot it gets at altitude.
Besides those already mentioned above, currently open are high slopes in the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise above Zermatt and Cervinia in Switzerland/Italy, glacier terrain at Les 2 Alpes in France and the Hintertux glacier in Austria.
Scandinavia
We start June with two ski areas open in Scandinavia, the Galdhopiggen Glacier, with the region's highest lifts, and the Stryn Glacier, both in Norway.
Both will hopefully stay open through June, but their bases aren't huge and Stryn has closed after less than a month of operations in recent years, so that's not a certainty.
A third centre, the Fonna glacier, had been expected to be open too but its former operator was declared bankrupt last autumn and - although a new owner has been found and a delayed season start date of June 19th announced under the new owners - more recent posts from the centre have cast doubt on whether that will happen or not.
Between these two, or three, Sweden's Riksgransen plans its annual midsummer reopening with 24-hour daylight and skiing at midnight, this year from June 19-22 inclusive.
North America
USA
Five US ski areas have made it into June, although one, the Arizona Snowbowl, just to June 1st, as the centre marks the longest season in its 80+ year history, operating more than 180 days over the past seven months.
Staying open longer into the month are Mammoth Mountain in California and Colorado's Arapahoe Basin, which have both extended their seasons into June, though it's not yet clear for how long.
After they close, Timberline in Oregon will likely be the only place in the US staying open through to July, although Beartooth Basin summer ski area on the Montana/Wyoming border may also make it.
Asia
Japan
Japan's only summer ski centre, the Gassan Glacier, remains open and should continue to be so through June.
Starting its season with an 8m base in mid-April, that depth has already halved under sunny skies, but higher slopes at least usually survive into July here and the centre is currently on track to keep operating through.
