Time to whip out the tubs of ice cream, rom-coms and sad emojis, Pios. Ski and snowboard season is coming to an end. Keystone and Beaver Creek closed on April 12, and it won’t be long before everyone else calls it quits, too. Breckenridge, Vail and Copper are still hanging on, yet they will all be shutting down on Sunday, April 19. Winter Park will stick it out one week longer, until Sunday, April 26.

But wait, hold on. If all of these resorts still have snow—which they do—then why are they closing?

“It’s just the date we prearranged at the beginning of the season with the Forest Service, so there’s no specific reason,” said Kristen Petitt Stewart, the Senior Communications Manager for Breckenridge Ski Resort. “Well, there are some business reasons, but I can’t really share them. It’s just our regular closing day. We usually try to go through the third weekend in April. For us, it just has to do with demand and also preparing for summer business.”

While it’s hard to admit, Stewart is right. Just running lifts all over these mountains costs a ton of money, and there are even more employees than lifts all over said mountains who would need to keep getting paid. Day ticket sales plummet during this time of year without a doubt, so people aren’t staying in hotels and condos for holidays. The only ones still heading to the mountains are people like us Pios—those who paid for season passes long ago. Not to mention, most of our wallets are too slim to be spending a single penny up there.

Winter Park won’t have the last say on April 26, though. According to A-Basin’s guest services department, they plan to stay open until the beginning of June. They even hinted at the possibility of staying open until July 4, as they have done in the past. And what’s even wilder than the possibility of skiing and snowboarding on Independence Day is the fact that A-Basin has been open since October 17, 2014. That means that if they do manage to stay open even through the beginning of June, the mountain will host an 8-month-long season.

So, the bottom line here is, get out there this weekend and make some slushy turns before A-Basin is the last one standing. While there’s a lot to look forward to this spring and summer between hiking, biking, fishing and all of Colorado’s other activities, you’ll surely miss the variety of slopes here and the unique happiness they bring.
