With all this snow still here and temps staying cold we should have a decent amount more skiing this year. Where has a lot of snow and plans on staying open longer, into April maybe?
 
Granite Peak is usually open until around April 16th. Though, with how cold it has been and with how much snow they have there will be hiking until June.
 
It's super unpredictable in Minnesota, most places close down early because of staffing, I was skiing giants ridge closing day (April 6th) in an 8" snow storm with a solid 80" base left last year. The year before it was 76 on st patty's day and they had to close that day. I know lutsen stays open as late as possible regardless of staffing, same with troll. I really hope we get some April storms like last year, that was amazing. Last year I was still skiing on snow in Northern Minnesota into May! After suffering through this arctic winter, we deserve a long spring season of 35° every day and fresh snow every night.
 
Fingers crossed for the season to last until late april... I want to ski one last day when I come back from college. Fuck you Indiana weather.
 
Spirit announced that they will be staying open later this season. They have not said an exact date when they're going to close, but rather "We will remain open with Spring Hours (9-5) and Spring Rates ($15) as long as the levels of business and snow conditions make it possible"

So possibly and hopefully a few more weeks!
 
Does anyone know the status/conditions of Afton? I'd like to go tomorrow but want to know if the snow is ok and the park (jumps) are still up. Any help is much appreciated. I'll give you a virtual high five.
