The end of the ski season at our favorite place(s) to rip turns is always a bit of a bittersweet phenomenon. There’s the dread of “mud season” if you’re a true full-time mountain town local. There’s the full-on depression of knowing you probably can’t carve on snow for roughly half a year (this is for you, diehard skiers and boarders). Conversely, there’s the positive anticipation of the new adventures and forms of recreation that the increasingly warmer temps bring. There’s the coming of the lush greenery, bold wildflowers, and general abundance that only springtime in a mountain environment can bring. In conclusion, the end of ski season should always be a time to celebrate another winter of amazing experiences while looking forward to having more in the near future that will take place in a different seasonal medium.

With closing days at Mountain West ski resorts approaching, we thought we’d give you the projected dates so you can plan accordingly. Here’s to the winter of 2022 and beyond!
