My home hill closes tomorrow, this whole season has been pretty rough for the east, last year I skied my first day on November 25th and my last day on April 14th, this year my hill didn't get open till the second week of January and now they are already closing, El niño has hit the east coast hard and it sucks. As a whole tho I progressed a lot and was happy to ski a few times than none. Anyone else in the same boat?

Last year I went skiing like 25 times
this year I only went skiing like 7 times
It sucks because I had so many tricks I wanted to learn and only learned 2 of them :(

The 22 days that I did get to ski this season were pretty damn good.

Except for North Carolina, that sucked.

Mammoth has had a good season this year. After the last few years good feels epic, so I am happy with it. Hopefully we will have a good April after an average March. With the coverage there should be skiing until Memorial Day if they want to keep it open that long, which they are pretty good about doing. I have gotten close to 30 days, and I think I can manage the drive 3-4 more times. I believe Tahoe has done better, but I really can't complain given how bad the last few years have been.

I know most east coasters won't feel bad, but it sounds like the resorts in Tahoe are closing early this year considering the amount of snow they have, which really sucks.

If Squaw is closing on April 17th that really sucks. During my ski bum years they never closed before Memorial Day. They have the snow to do that this year but they are being cheap. Oh well, I can't say I am surprised. They are owned by a corporation and as such will close when the corp. feels they will start to lose money. I doubt they make much money in May, as most of the people skiing then are passholders. It sucks, but such is life.
