Montage blew snow last night and is planning to blow tonight so I am assuming they're trying to make it to April, but who knows. They usually do whatever Elk does.

Good to know! I hope they do. I have one more day on Indy, so I'll try to get back before they close

Are you going to get Indy again for 2023-24?
I'm going to get Indy in hopes of getting to a few new locations next season. Probably won't get a Massanutten season pass since between 2 days using Indy and paying senior rates, that makes more sense now that I ski less at Mnut and more elsewhere.

I am! When they announced Jay Peak would return, I signed on right away. Thanks to you, I now have a solid love for these independent ski resorts.

It was cold with the wind! It took me a couple of runs to get used to the icy mid-Atlantic snow again. Showtime was a little chopped up and had some icy patches but side-to-side coverage top to bottom. With my Epic pass, I got 50% off and paid $18 for a 4-hour military slope ticket. Can’t beat that. Two hours annd thirteen runs. Every time I go to Massanutten, I get more impressed with how well it’s run.

@edelweissmaedl : have you checked the weather forecast for WV in the next week? Massanutten is blowing snow tonight because it's so cold and likely to be cold enough for snowmaking the next few nights. Snowshoe may be still in pretty good shape for the next couple weeks.

The weather is up and down (per usual this time of year). Think we are going to roll the dice and go for it.

My husband talked to either a liftie or patroller the weekend before last and they were at least planning to stay open through this coming weekend. We were there yesterday and honestly the base is probably the best it's been all year, which is sad lol, so I could see them maybe making it to that first weekend in April barring any huge warmups/rain events. Definitely planning to go this coming weekend in case it's the last!

The Conditions webpage hasn't been updated quite yet this morning, but Massanutten made the decision to re-open for a final weekend, March 25-26. An email was sent out to people on the e-list. Same trails and deals as last weekend, meaning the Creekside quad, Ridge triple the one with a mid-station), and the two shorter magic carpets in Paul's Way (teaching area). Upper and Lower Showtime and Southern Comfortable are the longer trails with snow coverage, probably side-to-side.

If anyone is considering a 1-resort season pass in the southeast or Mid-Atlantic, it's a good idea to check what's on sale now. Some of the deadlines for the lowest price are at the end of March.
The deadline for signing up for the Indy Pass Waitlist is today, March 23. People on the Waitlist will be able to buy an Indy Pass March 24-31 before it's available for anyone. Hard to know when the new limit for Indy passes will be reached after April 1.
Indy locations in the region have included:
Ober Mountain, TN (was Ober Gatlinburg)
Cataloochee, NC
Massanutten, VA
Bryce, VA
Winterplace, WV
Canaan Valley, WV
Montage, PA
Blue Knob, PA
Shawnee, PA
Ski Sawmill, PA
Tussey, PA
There is a new refund policy for Indy for 2023-24. In general, quite a few changes after the purchase of Indy by the technology company that's been a partner from the start. Doug Fish is still heavily involved.

I saw that-checked their livecam stream yesterday, didn't see anyone on the slopes but just as i tuned in, saw a group of three deer run across on the summit cam.
If I head out here on out, probably will be catskills or s-vt.

It was way too warm in northern VA yesterday, into the 70s in the afternoon and stayed in the 60s all night before the cold front finally moved in, so it was tough for Massanutten to piece together enough snow to open today, March 25. No more side-to-side coverage for Southern Comfort. This morning they opted to open two chairlifts. The peak is in the clouds as of 11am and it's in the 40s.
Massanutten Conditions, March 25, 2023
The late spring like temps and rain certainly took its toll on the snow but... thanks to our grooming team, we'll be open today as planned. With highs in the mid 60s we'll make the call for tomorrow later today. Come on out and enjoy the snow, ski it while you can!
Creekside Quad, Ridge Triple, and the SunKid Lifts will be open servicing Upper and Lower Showtime, Southern Comfort, and Paul’s Way. The Peak Quad will not be open this final weekend as we have started the removal process for its replacement lift.
