Getting close to that time of year...besides Killington, what other resorts go deep into the spring? Looking to camp and tailgate in some parking lots once the weather gets a little warmer.

sugarloaf takes the cake for resort spring skiing in the east, not really open for debate. really though you should be looking towards tuckerman/granite bc alliance beta for that good spring skiing experience, that isn't resort

Jay Peak's parking lot goes off late season with live music etc (though I haven't gone myself).

Also, Sugarbush typically pushes into May and will spin lifts till ~5 some days. They also offer discounts on a ski pass + golf if you're into that. 18 holes in the am followed by slushy bumps in the afternoon does not suck.

I'm familiar with the gba and rasta glades. Haven't been able to check them out this year though. After I did it last year, I'm making it a tradition of mine to hit Tucks every year once it's time to harvest the corn. Really wanna ski the sherb while it's still in too

But I'm mainly looking for a good apres ski parking lot grillin and chillin scene. Is sugarloaf good for that?

honestly it seems to me that chilling in the parking lot is way more common out west, I haven't ever really encountered it at the same level in New England. However, sugarloaf is pretty chill on rules in general and the whole place is one big party for reggae fest

Spring skiing at bush goes hard. Park stays great for a while!

OP, if a spring scene is what you're looking for you gotta hit reggae fest

Hopefully this blows over in time for some late April or May laps but I have a feeling it won't even be close to then...

Yeeep. Crazy how quick this changed. Hoping for a late April spring day in QC somewhere, but still doubt that'll happen.
