Three of Six Still Open US Areas Plan to Close On Monday

J2SkiNews posted May-2014



It's the final weekend of the season coming up at a number of the remaining still open US resorts which have stayed open to the coming long US 'Memorial Day' holiday weekend but will then call it a day on their 2013-14 ski seasons at the end of next Monday the 26th.

Mammoth, the last ski area still operating this season in California, Mt Bachelor in Oregon and Snowbird, the last one operating in Utah will all close.

Mammoth, which has top to bottom skiing still with more than 30 trails available, reports a 175cm base at the top and 5cm/2 inches of fresh snow in the past 24 hours.
At the weekend it will open its golf course for summer operations so will be able to offer snowsports, golf and downhill mountain biking to guests on the same day. Mt Bachelor will stage its annual pond-skimming contest.

Crystal Mountain in Washington state plans to stay open for one more weekend, and close at the end of Sunday June 1st.

On the East Coast, Killington, the last area operating there, finished operations at the weekend, as did the last two areas still open in Canada (Sunshine near Banff in Alberta and Whistler in BC).

However Arapahoe basin in Colorado has announced it will stay open at least to June 8th and Timberline in Oregon is normally operational through to August.

Other spring and summer skiing options in North America include glacier skiing at Whistler Blackcomb when it re-opens from June 21st to July 27th and summer skiing camps at Red Lodge Mountain, Montana which begins this Saturday May 24th and continues through to July 12th.
