Dh wants to go this weekend and I feel like its too late and its spring- we would probably only be going for the day- which means going to Mountain Creek or Shawnee.
Has anyone gone skiing this late in the season before?

Re: Skiing?
i just went this past weekend, and honestly the conditions suckked. and this was in vermont. I would check the forecast because anywhere local will be way worse.
Oh and keep in mind 1. many mountains that are local may not make snow this late in the season and 2. if the temp is above freezing they can't make snow.
that said, I've gone spring skiing in April and it can be beautiful, but this past weekend left me disappointed because I was SO looking forward to it and I hate skiing on slush.

and I love to ski but it was really no fun in these conditions... they may get a cold snap this week but i haven't checked because... well, I'll be in Mexico so I don't care about the weather in VT anymore.

Once I went skiining in may. It was in Maine- but they had snow. It wasn't the best skiing. Got kinda muddy late in the day.
Check the mountains websites to see how much snow they have. Its still cold enough for them to be making snow too. i think its a fine time to go skiing.
