A mountains closing date isn't always based on snowpack. Most resort on the west close with tons of snow and it will snow after the lifts close too.

Money.

It costs money to keep a resort running. Usually in the late season, there just aren't enough people skiing for the mountain to feasibly run the resort for so long.

This, resorts basically stop making money after spring break season. It's pretty much only pass holders after a certain date.

Ive never been to mt hood but I've always thought it was like one of the best mountains to ski at in the us so I can't imagine them not getting business even though it is April

Mt. Hood is a bit different....

Yeah I know, I meant it as a cry of sorrow. I'm just so sad that I had to vent somewhere.
