Any resorts we missed? Let us know in the comments below.
It’s surprising that up north as far as many of these ski resorts are that they can’t stay open quit a bit longer into spring.
As the article stated, they generally close due to lack of crowds not lack of snow.
Many haven’t even reached maximum snow depths yet.
I remember going to a few resorts out east and in the states where there would be half the runs of dirt showing and even places where walking was required yet the crowds dictated the resort was still open. If that were the case around here, some of these resorts could operate into June or July every year.
Hudson Bay – April 5th
Manning Park – April 5th
Mt. Cain – April 10th
Sasquatch – April 5th
Shames – April 4th
