What's the latest season to ski in North America? And where?

The definitive answer to your question is Whistler, British Columbia, about 75 miles north of Vancouver.  The Whistler Blackcomb resort averages about 30 feet of snow annually. Of that 30 feet, they usually get around 3 feet every May.\n\nAdd to this the simple fact that Whistler is, far and away, the largest ski area in North America.  Both mountains have over a full mile of vertical drop.  There are more than 200 trails, serviced by over 30 lifts covering over 8,000 acres of skiable terrain.  Only the Vail, CO area comes close with over 5,000 acres, making Whistler about 40% larger. \n\nWhistler typically runs their winter operation until the first weekend in June.  Then the trails are cleared of snow to operate as a mountain bike park.  Don't frown -- if you've got the right gear, you can even go skiing through the summer on the glaciers!

www.onthesnow.com is pretty good if you want to look at a whole bunch of ski areas.  Otherwise, I usually look at the ski area's own web site.  Those will be the most up to date.  Onthesnow updates once a day I believe.

Most definitely winter. I love being outside (except for this darn addiction problem) and not much interested in being cold or participating in winter activities. Seems winter is too long and cold here in the Northeast U.S.

You should contact the United States Ski Team and/or the United States Skiing Association and maybe they can assist you.

I live in Denver and have been skiing at Breckenridge, Keystone, and Winter Park. All three are great restors and a bit cheaper than Vail, which is mostly tourists. But- I think it is Tom Hanks who has a vacation home in Vail- I may be wrong though.

Several Tahoe Ski resorts are expected to open the 17th.\n\nYou aren't an actor, are you? Then don't 'break a leg'. There are a lot of better ways to get a chopper ride. Good sliding.

Skiing all the way. You have way more control being able to use both legs. I've done both and I still say skiing. My favorite resort is by far Jackson Hole. Vail is way too expensive for my taste. Not to mention Jackson Hole has the biggest vertical drop in North America if you like steep.

Mad River is one of the greatest ski areas ever (it's definitely not a 'resort).  It's worth going just to be on the last remaining single chairlift left in the US.  \nfavorite runs are Paradise and Fall Line.  I'd tell you where my favorite secret stashes are, but then they wouldn't be secrets, would they?  I can only say this: explore the woods, they are some of the best trees anywhere, but be careful- there are cliffs and drops that come out of nowhere.
