Im looking to make a trip to somewhere in Colorado or Utah around May 10th. What does everyone think are the best mountains to go to in early May?
 
your an idiot if you are taking a vacation to go skiing then.

but a-basin and loveland will probably be the only places open in CO and i would pick a-basin just for the beach.
 
whistler and other pacific northewest places are usually pretty good like baker and hood because of the ocean the temp changes slower but whistler is kind of low elvation wise so id say baker or hood alta snowbird are great but alta closes 15th of april because of national forest but snowbird is usually good in late spring same with brighton/solitude
 
could be farther away and more expensive?

but still hood would be the best option so sick out there!

well for park.
 
when i was looking to go to chile in the summer it was actually a little cheaper, the more expensive lift tickets was balanced out by a cheaper ski and lodging package.

probably a little more now though since airline tickets went up.
 
Seems like we got more snow on the backside this year in lake louise at this time then we did last year and last year we were open till like may 10th so that would give you a solid 10 days of spring shredding, we had some decent pow days I was skiing about a foot on last day of the season.
 
you're clearly are unaware of the season we're having in whistler, especially after this past week and next week
 
Usually, May is sick for Mammoth, but this year is just terrible. There are major dirt patches out there now. A storm is supposed to come in this weekend, but don't make any plans for a ski trip here in May yet this year. Check again in April, we might be on mountain bikes in May.
 
Well for one, Lake Louise had a week last May where it was free skiing the whole week for anyone with a season's pass to any ski hill in North America.

A ski hill can only stay open for so long, usually in May, many hills are closed because many people don't want to ski any more. If only the locals and pass holders are skiing, they make no money. So even if it dumps 5 feet on closing day, they're probably still going to close.
 
Yup by that time of year its totally dead which is awesome for locals cause pow days go forever. It was weird they opend for summer gondola site seeing tours a week later could have snuck some snowblades in your pack or something and gone up skiing for the super cheap summer rate haha
 
Same goes with bachelor. Just skied 8 inches of snow today and its gonna be fun spring skiing as soon as its sunny. About the same price for a spring pass too
 
This. Flying out of SLC today after skiing canyons, PC and Brighton. None of them have over a 75 inch base. Usually there's about 150+ inches if I remember correctly
