Mid-Atlantic/Southeast skiing (PA, NJ, DC, MD, VA, WV, NC, TN) for 2025-26

[HikenSki]

I'm hoping for a freak cold stretch and some snow later in the month to run away for a day. I just don't know what will be left after this weekend for the PA resorts. It may require us to try a long weekend at Timberline or Canaan. We haven't been this year since we have Epic. We don't really want to spend more money but we've only got six days on snow this year and that's just sad. Our little guy wants to get out too.

Massanutten and Wintergreen made snow the other night. Could see the new whales on Outer Limits and under fan guns on the Acorn side. Should make it through this weekend. All depends on how hot it gets in the next few days.

Hopefully the rain won't be a downpour. The drizzle this afternoon at Mnut wasn't going to take off much snow. I stopped by after skiing Wintergreen. But didn't feel like booting up given the drizzle.

Closing dates are being noted on this DCSki thread: 2026 Season Closings Thread. Liberty, Roundtop, and Whitetail are not selling online tickets past March 15. May be closed midweek next week.

Anyone ski in PA last weekend? I have Epic Day Pass days left. Thinking of driving to PA for a few days for spring skiing.

Giving up using Epic in PA this week. Warm and rainy doesn't sound like fun at all.

I was thinking of skiing Montage on Sunday but it is supposed to be in the 50s and raining near Scranton and that does not fill me with joy. I have been looking at the SkiPA reddit and if you haven't looked they have a weekly thread on conditions. Most posts seem to be related to the Epic pass resorts and less about CB or Blue.

Yeah, rain plus temps over 40 is not a fun combination.

For PA conditions, I get enough info from DCSki. Given that it's a full day drive from my house to get to any PA mountain my ski experience in PA have usually happened when I had other reasons to drive north.

Haven't ever skied Camelback or Blue, but have stopped by to take a look during the off-season. In general, I've found that resorts that are well established as multi-generational favorites and more or less independent are less likely to have an active social media community. Other examples are Bretton Woods, Waterville Valley, Jiminy Peak, and Butternut.

I opted to drive home yesterday after skiing at Bryce. It was fun checking out the new trails on the backside. The surprise was that the blue closest to the lift was turned into a seeded bump run several weeks ago after the big snowstorm that hit northern VA.

They look like icy bumps? Did you ski them? Seems like they would be enjoyable in soft snow though!!

Yes, I skied the run. Only way to see it well.

It was mostly soft snow, but with icy patches. Later in the day would've been soft snow all over. But it started to drizzle so there wasn't much point to stay. Especially since the Copper Kettle sit-down restaurant is only open for lunch on weekends during late season. The food there is quite good.

After this weekend, Massanutten will be closed Mon-Thu. There will be two more long weekends, Fri-Sun, March 13-16 and March 20-22. The special end-of-season events are on March 14. The final long weekend is considered a "bonus weekend."

It is going to be 80 in Philly on Tuesday and 70 in the Poconos. Not sure if Blue or Camelback will hit their goal of skiing into April! Both made snow this week and may get some cold overnights again after the warmup. I might go to Killington for one last weekend on the 14/15 before we head to Canada.

The southeast season is essentially done. A few places will be open March 14-15 after being on "pause" midweek.

Turn in WV could be on a little fresh snowmaking snow by the weekend. At least, that's what Snowshoe is implying.
