Hey thinking about spring trip after april 20th. Thinking Jackson Hole. the closing date says april 8th but people say it only a tentative and it stays open later. Any information is appreciated.
Oh and if you have any better spring skiing spots that are affordable, you shall be rewarded with Karma.

a lot of mountains have pretty strict closing dates because they actually lease the mountain from the government, so you might want to check some other places out. for instance here in breck we have a set closing date because of the elk migration. arapahoe basin tends to stay open really late in the season (closed on july 4th last year) so that might be a place to check out

Jackson I thought always had a strict closing date which was around the first weekend in April. Whereas, many other areas can petition to stay open longer.

the elk migration thing is a bogus rumour.. they close because people are not skiing as much in april and its not profitable.

jackson usually has a strict closing date, but targhee has been known to extend there closing date based on snow conditions. Last year they operated on a few less lifts and a shorter day for an extra week or two
