Do any of you know which ski resort has the longest season? Besides Mt. Hood or any that are open year round.

Mammoth when they keep it open instead of closing it with 4 meters of base left.

Not that many people know, but this place called Crystal Mountain in WA got so much rain the other season they opened in mid Nov. and closed in mid July. That was weekends only from May on but still, it was continuous, not like Mammoth reopening for the 4th of July and saying their season lasted till July.

Clearly Mt. Hood has the longest ski season in the US.  On a good year they close down for a mandatory 2 weeks for lift repairs.

For East Coast Sunday River can go from October into May on a good season.

For overall:
A-basin is good.

Alyeska is in AK so, yeah.

Whistler is really long.

Mammoth for California.

Snowbird for Utah.

Timberline has a very long season.

Hinterux (spelling) has a crazy long season for Austria.

Sunshine runs from the first weekend in November til the May long weekend. Fairly standard for North America. I hear A-Bay starts in October though. The best thing about Sunshine is it has no glacier and opens with close 50% of it's terrain open already. Most resorts that claim a long season cannot come close to that.
