I've asked today if I can carry over my buddy pass over to the next year, and they said that nope, 03/31/19 is the last day when it can be used. Quote

Expand 3/31 is the last day for 18/19 buddy passes because they want everyone else from the closed mountains to pay for a ticket until they close on 4/14. Edited March 18, 2019 by RootDKJ 2 Quote

But I think they’ll reopen the weekend of 4/6-4/7 weather permitting Quote

Just close the trails that are impacted during the 60 minutes. 2 Quote
Schif Posted March 18, 2019 Report Posted March 18, 2019 There are pictures of guys running in snow on the website. Seems like this won't have much of an impact on the season. Quote

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 18, 2019 Report Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Had to go to the lift ticket line and deal with a supervisor on Sat because there was an issue with my daughters season passes so they put comp days on them instead, and they asked how many we would need given that Blue closing day would be 3/31/19. So I take that as pretty definitive closing date. Edited March 18, 2019 by Ski2Live Live2Ski Quote

What was the season pass issue? Expand Apparently for some reason the $99 6th grade passes stopped working after 365 days due to some glitsch they could not solve, so they offered as many comp passes as we need. I said fine figuring VIP line no longer an issue this late in season. We were alread getting a late start Sat, knowing lines not an issue this late in season. Then 30 min into trip my daughter said "Dad, where are your skis?" Set back another hour we did not want to deal with Frost both being further and closing at 4, so back to Blue instead. Quote

We all know turning the lifts in April will end up costing them money. Quote

momskeeztoo Posted March 19, 2019 Report Posted March 19, 2019 Website says pond skimming 3/31, last day of the season. Would be great if the reopened the next weekend. I was there today, not many people there. Bottom lodge bar is closed. 1 Quote
Johnny Law Posted March 19, 2019 Report Posted March 19, 2019 They will close the 31st and reopen the next weekend unless the weather is just awful. They gotta sell the hype. 1 Quote
