wildcat probably cannot make the committment so early, but if they have the snow to make it down the hill they have been pretty good about staying open in the last few years....
areas can say all they want now about what they intend to do, but it's just talk and hope....when K was showing a real committment to skier years ago, you could make that trip with those dates with confidence...that disgrace of a hill , killington, and for that matter pretty much everywhere now, makes no real investment whatsoever in trying to attract people to ski during the time you are talking about...sugarbush seems to be trying , but they are no different than really...they won't commit to blowing the hell out of one trail and assuring the turns...they'll spin if the snow is there.. they are just not gonna put it there to make it a lock.....it's nothing short of a travesty and a disgrace on the ski industry's part....if there were more smart people like you, and less dumb people who jam the places on mlk weekend and feb vacation, you would be able to book your trip with authority and confidence.....you deserve a ton of credit for trying to bring the family out during that time period....people are just so stupid and can't see it is the best time to ski.....unfortunately , anyone open, including cat, loaf and saddleback, are going to be open because the weather was good and they get lucky, it just that simple.. it shouldn't be that way, but it is....jay peak seems to do their weekend only nonsense and despite all they hype about their snowfall totals, they are overrated for the late spring cause they don't make enough snow for when the durabilty of the snow becomes a factor
if cat is open, i hope you support them and go there, but it is gambling for sure because without a solid base on a snowmaking trail like K did on SS it can become a day to day operation and a risk with high consequences for the vacation minded family :roll:
