June 7

Since it started snowing last Thursday, we have received 31" of new snow. I am planning on skiing June 7 and you should too.

So each year we make a plan and a budget for the season. That includes an opening and closing day and a whole lot more. For about the last decade we have been targeting the first Sunday of June for closing day. This year that happens to be June 7. Prior to this storm I was confident we would be open until June 7. After this storm there is very, very little doubt we will be open June 7. Who knows, if the snow is good and people keep skiing, we may stay open beyond June 7. Time will tell.

32 of the last 34 ski seasons we have been open in June. 6 of those 34 seasons we were open into July and in 1995 we stayed open until August 10. At the end of March our year to date snowfall was 92% of average. April snowfall has been good and we anticipate little trouble making June 7.

Our scheduled closing date is June 7.
