The 11 East Coast Ski Resorts Still Open, and When They Plan To Close

With the winter the West has had, it’s hardly a surprise that the Eastern U.S. is still faring better in ski conditions than the rest of the country. Although California and the PNW seem to be getting a chunk of weird, late-season precipitation.

Early winter was kind to New England and the East Coast, and the snow has held on well with continued cold temperatures.

Even so, Spring is well on its way, and ski areas are starting to shut down for the season. Most eastern ski areas stop spinning lifts by mid-April or early May in a normal year, unlike some spots in the PNW that have glacier skiing into the summer.

However, this year, a few spots are snowmaking and keeping lifts running on bonus weekends to make the most of all that snow.

If you’re in the east and planning out your last few lift-accessed turns of the season, here are the ski resorts that are still open.

1. Black Mountain, NH

Planned Closing Date: May 25, 2026.

Base Depth: 30″

Black Mountain, New Hampshire, is currently open from Friday to Sunday and has 50% of its terrain operating. The ski area has gotten more than 130″ of snow this season and with the help of a newly updated snowmaking system, Black Mountain is still cranking out manmade snow as well.

The resort’s GM, Erik Mogensen, who is also in charge of the Indy Pass, recently published a letter announcing that Black Mountain would be open through Memorial Day for skiing. It seems the New Hampshire ski area might be giving western destinations a run for their money this year.

2. Camelback Resort, PA

Planned Closing Date: May 3

Base Depth: 24-80″

Black Mountain isn’t the only eastern ski area taking advantage of snowmaking to extend its season. Pennsylvania’s Camelback Resort was still making snow early last week and is planning to keep the season going as long as they can. The ski area ended daily operations on April 12, but is reopening on the weekends until the first weekend in May, conditions permitting.

Temperatures at Camelback are hanging out in the mid 70s, which might impact those plans, but hey, if you can’t ski, Camelback also has an indoor waterpark to enjoy.

3. Jay Peak, VT

Planned Closing Date: May 9 or later

Base Depth: 16-40″

Is anyone surprised Jay Peak is still open? After all, the Vermont ski area got absolutely walloped by snow this season. 404″ of snow later, mild spring temperatures seem to be keeping things fun and soft in northern Vermont, and Jay Peak still has all of its lifts running daily from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. The ski area also has plenty of fun, spring events planned, including lots of live music and a pond skim, so check their event calendar to get in on the fun.

4. Killington, VT

Planned Closing Date: TBD

Base Depth: N/A

Killington, Vermont is still spinning five of its lifts daily through this coming weekend, conditions permitting. The weather is getting a little wet and wild at Killington as of April 15, and grooming is more limited, but generally the snow has stayed soft and fun. The park crews have also been hard at work refreshing features and keeping things running well ahead of the resort’s Spring Send-Off event.

Ramshead Express Quad, Snowdon Six, K-1 Gondola, and North Ridge Quad will all close for the season on Sunday, April 19th. Skyeship Express Gondola Stage II and the Skyepeak Express Quad will run Friday, April 17- Sunday, April 19. Starting on May 3, the Superstar Six will be open Friday-Sunday only.

5. Loon Mountain, NH

Planned Closing Date: April 18

Base Depth: 24-48″

Loon Mountain skiers have just a few more days to make turns this season. The New Hampshire ski area plans to celebrate closing day for the 2025/26 season on Saturday, April 18. Until then, Loon has three chairs still running, providing access to 170 acres of spring skiing. Grooming teams have been hard at work keeping the snow smooth, but Loon still warns skiers to watch out for late-season conditions. Terrain and lift status might change through the week, so check what’s open before you head up.

6. Mount Snow, VT

Planned Closing Date: April 19

Base Depth: 24″

As of Tuesday, April 14th, Mount Snow has moved all operations to Carinthia and is running Lift #3 Heavy Metal to access skiing for the rest of the season. Temperatures in the low 60s and mid-50s should keep snow soft and springy through the rest of the week and into this weekend before Mount Snow’s closing day on April 19.

7. Okemo, VT

Planned Closing Date: April 19

Base Depth: 36″

Despite some pretty warm weather in southern Vermont, Okemo is still open for another five days of the season. The ski area still has 15 trails and two lifts open on the main face of Okemo, and grooming teams have been keeping favorite trails like Sapphire and Tomahawk maintained well. Continued warm temperatures and a bit of rain could make things interesting as Okemo closes out the season, but what’s spring skiing if not a mixed bag?

8. Sugarbush, VT

Planned Closing Date: May 3

Base Depth: 28″

Sugarbush got more than 220″ of snow this season, which has made for a fun and fruitful spring of skiing and events. With a couple of weeks left in the season, Sugarbush has moved operations to spring hours and is spinning two lifts from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. The mountain has 18 trails still open, nine of which are groomed, making for soft, fun, spring turns. Lifts are spinning until May 3, and Sugarbush patrol is constantly assessing conditions and making closures where needed.

9. Sugarloaf, ME

Planned Closing Date: April 26

Base Depth: N/A

Sugarloaf is open through next weekend and is currently gearing up for the East Coast Pond Skim Championship, which is slated to take place this upcoming weekend (April 18). The ski area still has 299 acres and 56 trails open, accessed by three lifts. Buddy tickets at Sugarloaf are also only $39 through the rest of the season, including for Pond Skim weekend, so get out there and finish strong, Mainers!

10. Sunday River, ME

Base Depth: 20″

Sunday River is celebrating one last weekend of skiing from 9 a.m. on Friday, April 17, until 4 p.m. on Sunday, April 19.

11. Whiteface, NY

Planned Closing Date: April 18

Base Depth: N/A

Whiteface is reopening for one final weekend of skiing from April 17-18, conditions permitting. The ski area is still assessing terrain and will make a final call on terrain and lift openings for the final weekend, so guests are encouraged to check back before the weekend. Whiteface got 223″ of snow this season, which bodes well for the last couple of days of fun spring skiing to close out the season.
