It’s been an outstanding snow year for Colorado ski resorts. Most are boasting above-average base depths as of March 16, with a dozen sitting at 25% above normal or better and three — Powderhorn, Purgatory and Sunlight — at better than 50% above average.
That means spring skiing this year could be outstanding. Some resorts already have extended their projected closing dates, and others may soon follow. Here’s a list of the most current projected closing dates:
Breckenridge and Mary Jane plan to stay open into May, as long there is adequate snow. Arapahoe Basin expects to stay open until June 4 or June 11.
