I'm going to be missing this weekend and the following weekend + my entire week long break because of travelling, is there any parks that'll have some features up that I could get a few days in before close? I know killington did a hike park last year that was all time vibes, will that be happening again? located in massachusetts in terms of reference to other areas.

Killington will be doing a hike park by Superstar this year; it might be up top on Skyehawk but they are thinking of building it at the bottom like they used to do years ago. It will have a couple medium/large rails and tubes and if it's at the bottom things will get rebuilt and moved around every day.

Killington should be good to at least sun the 28th but in the past they've kept peace park open to early may and with lots of snow in last 6 weeks I don't think May 5th is out of the question. They also blew a bunch of snow where the late season park goes on skyhawk so that setup may be really good this year. We just need a rope tow.

Peace Park at killington should be open thru the end of the month, if not longer, they have plenty of snow to work with

So true. Rope tow would be game changing

unfortunately they won't do that since it only will run like 2-4 weekends in spring but if it was to be somehow moved to upper section of mouse run on skiers left in early season that would be awesome.

They have too much money in the first place they can afford a rope if all these random places can too

For anyone wondering Killington says peace park is done this weekend. Pretty lame they have plenty of snow to be skiing that for at least another if not two weeks. It hasn't closed this early in some time. Bear Mtn still has a ton of snow as well they usually keep to rolling until it melts out. Maybe well get a crazy good end of season park.

Looks like killington is toast for this weekend, bush might be open still but it’s a 3 hour drive for me, really hoping there’s something else

the park on gatehouse is closed now (obv Mt Ellen too). they've built a small park off of valley house b4 but idk if they are this year. probably not considering there's only 3 weeks left.

Why is Killy toast this weekend? Do you mean after this weekend? Setup should be good thru Sunday

50 features (counting 6ish banked turns) at @sugarloafparks this weekend and pretty much as long as the snow lasts. Forecast is looking pretty promising though and I’m pretty confident we’ll have something until May. Car camping is allowed in Lot E btw
