Looks like Eaglecrest is staying open until April 12 this year. They have a Spring Pass that was good starting March 11.

Mt. Ashland in southern Oregon managed to open, but just barely. It's a non-profit.
From the Ashland final Mountain Report for 2025-26:
" . . .
Even with the record-low snowfall and unseasonably high temperature, the Mountain was able to open for 17 operating days and 7 twilight nights and we are grateful for the powder days, sunshine turns and our incredible staff who pulled it all off.
We did not meet our 50 day guarantee for our Season Passholders. There will be a 33% discount available for returning Unlimited Season Passholders during our Spring sale and a 24% discount available for returning Twilight passholders during our Spring Season Pass sale.

USA — It’s shaping up to be a disastrous week for the Western U.S. ski industry. A warm heat wave has arrived, bringing warm temperatures to the region. With most ski resorts having below-average snowpacks, it’s a recipe for disaster. This ski season, we’re seeing a larger-than-average number of ski resorts across the West calling it a season early.
Here’s a list of ski resorts in the Western U.S. that are closed for the season earlier than expected. This includes currently open mountains that have announced earlier-than-anticipated closing dates. This list will be updated as more closings are (likely) announced in the days ahead.
A List Of All The Western U.S. Ski Resorts Closing Earlier Than Expected

Last time I skied in that warm of weather I had a skort on. Feels LOVELY to feel the snow spraying up on your legs etc... but I was terrified the whole time I was going to fall and get road rash all over my legs too. Thankfully that DIDN'T happen haha. I do love skiing in a tank top or tee shirt in the fall, feels so lovely.
Meanwhile in Maine it is currently snowing with the potential for a somewhat good amount coming Sunday...we'll see.

Adding to the closures: Powder Mtn UT: So Nothing will be open in Ogden Valley, UT aft March 29.
We want to thank all of our departments for keeping the resort running through the rain, at times too much sun, and very little snow this season. And to our guests, even though Mother Nature didn’t make it easy, you all still showed up and made the most of every visit. Thanks to each and every one of you who chose Powder Mountain.
The final day of operations will be March 29, snow and conditions permitting. Night skiing will end after the evening of March 22.

My first season of skiing was in 2023 and I didn’t realize that it isn’t normal to get huge storms with multiple feet of snow here in Southern California. Remember skiing in May that year. Fast forward 3 years later and my home resorts are closing one after the other in mid-March. Weather feels like we went straight from February into August. So tragic!

It looked like we had an early end to the season for the last couple of weeks with really warm temperatures, rain and wind. All the snow except on the pistes disappeared entirely. But local mountains had enough artificial snow base to keep going, and now we've had a constant fall of fresh snow and stable temperatures for the last few days, and forecast for another 10 days. Definitely lots of ice to contend with, but we can live in denial maybe even up to Easter!

My friends and I chose Banff for our late March ski trip. We waited until just now to finalize our destination and book. We are scheduled to ski at Lake Louise 3/28-4/5. I got an awesome deal at the Post Hotel in Lake Louise and we will buy the Lake Louise Spring Pass. I’m quite excited to get to see and ski the Banff area — I’ve only visited that area in the Summer many many moons ago. With this climate chaos, it makes sense to do a “wait and see” before you book if possible. When you’re retired it’s possible! I have been perusing the SkiTalk.com thread because they are in Banff right now for their “gathering” and getting some good info from those folks. @mustski — would love it if you can give the divas a bit of info about your week in Banff when you get back.
Big Bear Mountain Resort in Southern California includes these 3 ski areas:
- Snow Valley, already closed
- Snow Summit, closing tomorrow
- probably Bear Mountain will close tomorrow too
I went to Snow Summit yesterday and survived inconsistent and slushy conditions. It was bikini ski weather (no, not me).
My ski club cancelled their April trip to Mammoth due to lack of interest.

I just got back from a week up there. LL is more prone to good conditions upper/not so good lower. LL has better visibility in flat light due to more tree runs. Head to the Larch side for lots of tree lined runs. Sunshine has shorter runs and the glades up high off the Great Divide are easily doable for an intermediate skier. They were kinda scraped off probably due to wind when we skied them. The Wolverine chair was fun in flat light—nothing exciting terrain wise but it was fun to lap (the snow was outstanding there, too, probably due to lack of wind exposure.
I hope you get some sunny weather. We had very little so did not get to take in the views like we’d hoped. We LOVED it there and plan to return!

Thanks @contesstant. Good info! Yes I’m hoping for some sun and visibility. Also hoping for some corn snow. Conditions may be right for that it looks like. I’m thinking we may not even go to Sunshine. It looks to me like Lake Louise has enough to keep me occupied (for probably several years, lol). Would we be making a mistake by not trying Sunshine one day?
