    NY Ski Area Closing Dates 2025

    Just going by the website, they were closed during the week, so I'd say last Sunday. Any HV skiers want to confirm?

    Shot of Rocket from the Bristol webcam this AM. I'm gonna use the cliche' "The odds of Bristol opening this weekend are slim to none and Slim just left town"................

    Probably the final day for the 2024-25 season. Closed M-F this week with "TBD" for the weekend, but the only trail that could possibly make it is U/L Rocket-the rest are too thin to survive. Didn't rain too hard, in fact there were a few periods without rain. Thin and mud on Comet and U/L...

    No real change from yesterday except for no sun. Trails were slightly firm-I started earlier today and soon softened up. Skied until about 1:00-the Loop was getting slightly sticky in spots, but all else good if somewhat piled up. Bunch of diehards were enjoying the last few days of the Bristol...

    Bluebird spring skiing day. Got out late (around 10:00) and found soft snow. Early guys said the groomers were nice at 9. Skied until around 1:15 and things were getting slightly piled up, but still lots of fun. Starting to get slightly sticky in a few spots, but old achy legs and knees said...

    Bar up or down?

    Skied at Copper quite a few times the first two weeks of this month. The American Flyer chair (detachable 6 with bubble) has no way to put your arm around the back and the seat has a sort of forward lean. It's long and bounces in the middle. Not a fun ride with the bar up............. I usually...

    The only two days they didn't run it this year (once the trails opened) were Mon-Tues. Actually it was great in some ways-those of us who were willing to do a little hiking/poling ( and/or tuck at the bottom of Northstar) were rewarded with fresh groomers. Sometimes you'd be the second or third...

    Gray skies, but still trails open if thin in many spots. Ran into some regulars, so I had people to ride the chair with and stayed longer than I thought I would. Just the Comet chair open, but U/L Galaxy, U/L Meteor,U/L Rocket, Comet,Challenger to lower Sunset, and the Loop. Very few...

    Bet you're glad you didn't give away your ticket! :) My wife and I skied with the two older granddaughters and had a great time. We got there about the same time and no problem parking close. Crowds weren't bad with very small lift lines. Yes, firm early, but softened up to nice spring mashed...

    Not bad today considering what the past few days have been. Groomed and crunchy early on then slowly softened up with sugar snow. Still open: U/L Rocket, Comet, U/L Meteor, U/L Galaxy, Sunset, The Loop, Morning Star, Shooting Star and connectors.If it stays reasonable cold, they should make it...

    +1 to what Charlie A. said. Lost a lot overnight and as nice as the sun is to ski, it ain't helping things a bit. Crunchy early then it slowly softened up-Rocket at 11:30 or so was nice! I plan on taking tomorrow off, but will ski Friday and report then. Plan on Saturday for the Spring...

    Bluebird spring skiing day today! Got back from CO Sunday night and made it down a little late today. Snow softened up very nicely and wasn't sticky. First day here since 2/28. Unfortunately, trail count is down due to the torrential rains and wind on Sunday. Looks like Northstar is done-could...

    USSA Masters Nationals start tomorrow. Good luck to the people participating-kind of glad I didn't sign up. I have a bunch of friends doing them though.
