I think ski areas/resorts in the southeast (NC/TN/VA/WV) are hoping to get in at least three more weeks. Snowmaking in Jan-Feb has resulted in pretty deep bases on core trails.
I get the impression that March 21 will be closing day for a number of places in PA. The recent warm snap melted a lot of snow. But snowmaking is happening when possible this week.

Vail said they are closing Stevens on April 4th. Apparently they don't like to extend? That will be the earliest closing around--even the 3 lower elevation Snoqualmie areas close later--and with a 140% snowpack, they are going to feel silly leaving all that snow just lying there.

Wachusett is now listing April 4 as their closing day.

Given that is Easter this year, I would guess there are other places hoping to make it that long as well. I've heard it's a stretch goal for Massanutten but would probably be just the weekend.

Is that early, it sounds way too soon!

I’m hoping Sunday River does their Easter Sunrise ceremony at the Peak this year. It’s such a lovely non denomination ceremony, I missed it last season since we all had to close early.
OOh, I had forgotten about that - it would be wnderful

I'm not sure, if it's early for them or not, given I haven't ever skied there at this time of year before. It seems early to me though.
They usually close around mid April, They have been known to extend the original announced date depending on conditions. (made it to May once in recent years)

This season has brought the biggest weekday skiers/riders ever seen. The resorts do not have an incentive to extend the season. I understand their decision to have a clear plan in place but it breaks my heart.

Seen on Facebook--Mount Sunapee will extend to April 11

I rode the chair with someone today who said Okemo is closing on the fourth and almost immediately starting their lift upgrade. We shall see if that is the case. But I had heard they were expected to pay for the lift ahead of time on another day on another chair. So plausible but not confirmed.
A number of Vail resorts extended their seasons today: Mount Snow (VT), Sunapee (NH), Keystone (CO), Vail, and Beaver Creek.
Here are the latest closing dates for Colorado resorts:
Aspen Highlands – 4/4/21

Which region are you thinking about? In the southeast, all the ski areas/resorts are extending as much as possible given the recent snowmaking temps. It's going to be very warm (60s) this week, but making it to March 21 and beyond is very much of interest because it's actually been a very good season for new people to check out what sliding on snow is all about.

Interesting. What is happening for Stowe and Okemo? Sticking with the original plan?
I don't know about Stowe -- I think they were scheduled for April 12, and I haven't heard that's changed -- but Okemo is sticking to April 4. They have some major projects scheduled for the off season, and I think they're pretty anxious to get them going.
