GE usually makes it through till they close Stage 1 at the end of March. Usually demand is very low by then anyway.
GE gets really slushy and sketchy by the end of a warmer mid March day. You'll think it is almost done. But they'll groom it out and it survives.
After Stage 1, closings usually are followed by Sunrise and Bear after BMMC, Stage 2, Needles Chair, Ramshead, Snowdon, Snowshed, K1, and nothin but Supe after May 1.
North Ridge also closes fairly early in April.
Throughout this time, condition dependent, in recent years they often do "bonus reopenings" of closed lifts on weekends (particularly Bear, Needles, and Canyon). But not usually the lodges.
As for late March throughout Vermont, usually most hills are still open with a lot of terrain. Even Jiminy in Mass doesnt usually close till early April.
March is an awesome ski month. Warmer, daylight late, and even Mets spring training game audio playing on my mlb app while i ski!
Thanx for the feedbacks
