Upcoming Ski Resort Closing Dates

Ski season is coming to a close in the Northern Hemisphere. As much as it pains us to say it, we can't deny that warmer temperatures are doing a number on the snowpack. Rocks are starting to show up where they shouldn't, and surface conditions are going from pleasantly soft to dangerously watery. So, when exactly will the lifts stop spinning?
