Typically, ski season opens Thanksgiving weekend and runs through the end of March. However, over the last few years, resorts have been able to open sooner, and the normal closing date is March 31st, depending on the weather. (Some resorts have begun to stay open into the first week of April, so you’ll have to continue to check our slope conditions!

SkiSoutheast is THE ONLY source to find out what the roads are like during inclement weather. The area’s departments of highways are extremely talented at getting all of the ski access roads clear, as well as all major roads and highways. Even during big storms, the main roads are rarely not drivable. Four wheel drive and/or chains are advised during snowfalls, however.

You can find lodging links right here. It’s best to book early! We cannot advise where vacancies are, but we can tell you that we have the most extensive list, so just click and ask away! Slopeside lodging books first so, if you want on the slopes, make reservations early!

(Is it likely to snow during January, etc.) Well, we can’t predict the weather for months ahead. However, we CAN tell you that we typically get numerous snowfalls (some heavy) during November, December, January, February and March. If you want to see the current weather and 5-day forecast, check out our sister site, HighCountryWeather.com, and you can also see a detailed weather forecast on the front page of this website.

Well, we have to tell you that the resorts themselves ALWAYS want to tell the reports on conditions accurately. However, sometimes overzealous employees have (and still can) overstate the conditions. You can count on SkiSoutheast to tell it like it is. We also have several LIVE views of the High Country on our WEBCAMS! Check them out: Ski Area WebCams
