What is the skiing season in the Rockies and NorthEast?

Being from Vermont where the best skiing is the season typically is from middle of December to late March early April.  You usually get a warm spell that melts the snow around christmas to New Years.  Febuary is the coldest month, and usually Febuary and March and the best times to go skiing.\n\nIn the rockies, it is mid to late november to April, sometimes May if it is a good year.  And they don't face the warm spells as much because of the higher elevations.

Crystal Mountain Resort in Thompsonville Michigan (Northern Lower Peninsula). It is a very cool area and they are very good at keeping you in the "ski lodge" theme. However, I don't know how their prices compare to other places and this is not actual "Mountain" skiing, so it would depend on your skill level and what you want for surroundings. I would recommend Banff in Canada otherwise.

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.

Autumn. I absolutely love the fall season with the changing colors of the leaves and the crispness in the air. And, my favorite place to be in the fall is either in New England or Yosemite.

Just went to Copper Mountain last weekend for their opening and they have some great skiing there. It is more of a resort type ski area though and targets a lot of tourists.  Breckenridge and Vail are better options for someone not looking for the big resort type of ski area.

Breckenridge and Vail are great choices if you are staying at the resort. If staying in Denver, I recommend trying Winter Park. It is closer to Denver, gets more snow than Summit or Vail counties and you will save some money on the lift ticket. THE SKIING IS AWESOME!

Whistler/Blackcomb will still be open the last week of April. I hear it's about a 2 hour drive from the city (Vancouver), and it's an awesome place to ski!

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!

montreal canada, its the best compromise you can have.  In winter you can go ski and its not very far away, in summer we have a lot of festivals (jazz fest, just for laugh (comedy show)...)  we have a lot of trendy store.  It not a super big city like new york but it not a small village. the temperature is not too cold not too hot (-5 to 10 F with wind it can be lower a bit in winter and around 100 F in summer)

Yes, I've already been twice this season. Six of our 12 ski resorts have already opened in the past month. The other 6 are opening this week.
