Industry News
Warming temperatures and the longer days of spring are here. California’s spring skiing is legendary with 60-degree temperatures, pond skims, and slushy big mountain lines. Unfortunately, this also means the end of the resort season is near. Most of California’s resorts are closing on various weekends throughout April. Mammoth Moutain and Squaw Valley will be open through at least Memorial Day weekend (May 29-31), although they traditionally will push that into June if conditions allow. There will be resorts open around the state for the next several weeks. Time to put some warm-weather wax on and ski in a t-shirt.
Many ski resorts around the country will have closing days in the upcoming weeks. However, don’t let this bum you out. Think of it more as an opportunity to go to as many closing days as possible and rack up some crazy memories while rocking the dirtiest goggle tan humanly possible. Consider this a personal challenge or simply some encouragement to get out there and enjoy the last of the spring skiing.
