Skiers Chime In On Ski Artist's Post About Where They're Still Skiing In April

Clearly, Niehues hasn't been to Tahoe, because people commonly ski well into April. It's spring skiing for a reason, right? 

Jokes aside, people left their answers below, ranging from Mt. Bachelor, OR, to Brighton, UT, to Killington, VT. 

Other responses included Breckenridge, CO, Snowbowl in AZ, and Deer Valley, UT. 

The commonality of Utah responses makes sense, because, as Niehues points out, "Utah has had a great season." 

Alta, UT, received 611 inches of snowfall this season, and Brighton, UT, (because it was mentioned by an avid spring skier) received 555 inches this season to date. 

Colorado has had a great season as well, with Breckenridge, CO, seeing 285 inches this season, although it is worth noting that resorts such as Wolf Creek (known as the snowiest resort in Colorado) has already closed for the season. 

The commenter who reported skiing in Killington may be on to something, because although Vermont had an unusually warm winter, their resorts fared well. Killington, for example, saw 239 inches of snow so far this winter. 

There was a second aspect to Niehues' question: what was the resort in the picture he drew? 

As many commenters guessed, it is Jiminy Peak, located in southern New England (MA). Jiminy Peak is actually an interesting destination for the in-bounds skier, as it is uniquely wind-powered. 

This is thanks to Brian Fairbank, who grew up in New York, briefly attempting moving west, but came back to New England. 

Fairbank ended up overseeing the largest ski area in southern New England for over 50 years. He incorporated innovative environmental measures like a wind powered turbine and energy-efficient snow guns. 

Jiminy Peak is now a four-seasons resort as opposed to its start as a purely winter season operation. 

It's always nice when surprises have an even more surprising--and happy--twist. Regardless of where you're skiing this April, we hope you're still finding your own surprises at your local hill.
