I get out of school around May 5th, and was wondering what would be the best bet, if any for skiing around that time? I know Killington is a hit or miss around that time, but any other places in VT?

Jay peak will still be killin it around that time. Hopefully they will continue to maintain some sort of park as that has become slightly more of a priority for them this season.

Killington, Sugarbush, and Jay are your best bets for May skiing, not counting memorial day jams.

Sugarloaf, they got 4 feet of snow in March, and usually go till late May/early June, shouldn't have any problem doing that this year.

No no, must be another Jay Peak, it only rains there.

Definitely don't go to Jay in April or May.

For Vermont: Sugarbush has already shut down operations but will be doing weekends. Stowe has a huge base and will be open at LEAST until the end of April, it just depends on how much money they're making, sometimes they shut down just because they're not raking it in. In Maine Sugarloaf will for sure be open into May, they always put a big push on spring skiing, and they've been getting dumped on since February.

I've seen a line 100's of people long hiking up for a run at tucks...

Whiteface is probably gonna be open in May. They were saying a cinco de mayo party.
