This is the third day in a row we've had rain here in Vermont, and that, combined with warm temps, has to be doing a number of the ski areas that are still open. I haven't been skiing since Wednesday, and though conditions deteriorated into mash potatoes pretty readily and there were a lot of bare spots, it was still skiable. Okemo still plans to stay open til the 17th, and Killington is going til who knows when. I have friends who plan to ski this coming week, though lord knows how it'll be after this rain. I'll probably get out there, too.
So when do you pull the plug on your ski season? Or have you already? What makes you say it's over? Do you ski right until the closing date, or do conditions make you end it earlier?
