whistler should still be open, ive been wanting to go there for a while

hood

depending on how well colorado's season goes Abasin should be open that long. Maybe alta/snowbird if utah gets dumped on this year.

hood and whistler

Timberline for sure. Mammoth is awesome in may if they have an above average snow year.

Sunshine and Lake Louise. The skiing in may at Sunshine is amazing and it is open until Victoria Day, and the lift lines are always short. Banff has some of the most underrated late season conditions.

I went to Livigno/Mottolino in Italy last April (20-30th) and the skiing was incredible for late season. The entire trip costed me less than a 1 week trip to Mammoth that I was initially planning to take until I realized how bad their snow year was. Their parks were on point and the skiing+Lodging was super cheap. I live south of Boston, MA

Hope this helps.

thanks for all the responses everyone

yeah, mammoth sounds like an awesome time in the spring. timberline sounds even better since i could go mess around in portland for a day. wish mammoth was closer to san francisco

Also the Timberline spring pass is like the best deal ever.

Timberline, Snowbird, Arapahoe Basin

worth noting that you can ski through the month of may at hood on a 99 dollar spring pass. that's what i'm doing this spring now that i have my utah residency. i'd say that's your best bet for cost effectiveness. and u can ski with me!

Skied Val Thorens and Val d'isere/ Tignes at the end of April, first of May. If you can afford it.... go. Not the cheapest late season trip I've ever done, but worth it. Usually i leave Colorado when we close (mid april) , stop in Snowbird or Alta, then catch the last bit of Squaw, and then head down to Mammoth till the money runs out.

Mt Bachelor for 3/4 of it.

Abasin has the sickest spring season! Last year it snowed and I went up and no one was there and I was getting face shots in the trees all day

Anyone know if Mammoth has a spring pass some years?

I believe they have in the past, might depend on the conditions.

anywhere in utah?

If it is a good year, Mammoth. They keep their snow really well, so even in an average season May is still good, fun slush turns up high. There is also pow from time to time, not often, but I have seen it.

Loveland pass got a 2 foot powder day on may 24th last season. sure you have to hitchhike up but its free and you meet a lot of cool people. my favorite place to ski in colorado so far. no lift lines and if you get a couple buddys you can take turns driving so you dont have to hitchhike. I was there 4 hours one day and got in about 10 to 15 runs hitchhiking.

If we have a good snow year, snowbird will be open into june, lots of jumps and natural features etc.

this, really fuckin cool country. i was staying around reykjavik(the capitol) in june for week on the way to scotland. i instantly regretted not brining skis, but it was a family trip so oh well.

the place looks like fuckin mars. at least where i was it was all vast flat lava fields with mountains randomly popping out of it. thats just the southwest peninsula though. there was a ski hill about 30 min away from reykjavik, but it wasn't anything crazy.

from what i have heard, the goods are found in northern iceland. there are about 5 resorts with in reasonable distance of each other in the north. i'm not quite sure of the terrain they offer, or if they would still be open in may though. i would imagine the heli operations would still run in may at least.

if you tour, you'd be set. it was still snowing in june on the south when i was there, so i would imagine may in the north would still be brining pow. i would say the mountains are comparable in vertical drop to what you would find in UT, and CO. they may not be the biggest mountains, but a lot of what i saw looked like it would be a ton of fun to ride.

even if the weather didn't work out, it would still be a really cool trip for the experience. in may i would guess you would have about 21 hours of sunlight. it was 24 hours when i was there. ski as long as you want...

rekyavik is a really cool city too. some really interesting food, super fresh sea food, a growing modernist cuisine movement, and a bunch of traditional food that may scare you. yes i had fermented shark when i was there, it honestly wasn't all that bad. minke whale sashimi is amazing delicious. like a cross between tuna and beef. sounds insane to say, but id almost put it up there with bluefin in terms of flavour.

the party scene is also pretty crazy, seeing as its dark half the year and they've got nothing else to do. all of the girls are 10s, except for the 60+ year olds who are 9s. like its kind of ridiculous, there just aren't any ugly people there.

the other, much more demanding option would be to check out greenland. if youve seen further by jeremy jones than you have an idea of what the skiings like there. definitely bigger mountains than what you'll find in iceland. but its incredibly remote, you need to go in being ready for a full on expedition, or pay a lot of money for guide. so probably not the most feasible option but it would be really cool.

iceland on the other hand would be fairly reasonable. flights to reykyavik are quite cheap. once you're there though, everything is quite pricy. you'd obviously need to do some research, but if you can swing it, i'd really recommend checking it out.
