These Are the 9 Ski Resorts That Are Open in North America This Weekend

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

– Dylan Thomas 

All good things must come to an end—even our ski seasons. However, some mountains, graced with prime geographic locations and strong, lingering snowpacks, clean-cut deals with the Forest Service or those who privately own their land, can remain open well into the spring and even summer. These North American ski resorts refuse to give in to the changing seasons. Let the good times roll…

These resorts offer a variety of spring skiing experiences, from high-altitude groomers to slushy terrain parks. Timberline Lodge in Oregon stands out with its extended season, operating through mid-August yearly, while Beartooth Basin in Montana provides a unique summer skiing opportunity, opening in late May as America’s ‘summer only’ ski area. 

So, skiers and snowboarders alike, I say to you: Rage—rage against the dying of the light…And ski some damn corn with your friends!
