Who will be last? An update!

So about a week ago I discussed all the ski areas closing down as May approaches and I even posed a question to many friends regarding, which ski area will be the last to have lifts running in New England. While only a few have daily operations ongoing to date, there are several that plan to reopen this weekend and some have said they will go further. Actually, some haven't said anything while both Sugarloaf in Maine and Wildcat in New Hampshire have indicated that they will at least go for the first weekend in May. This of course bodes well for people like me, but I have to wonder if a Vermont area will make a last minute decision. With former "King of Spring Skiing," Killington, closing a couple days ago, I would say that the resort with the best skier base to make feasible attempt would be Sugarbush. Jay Peak, the region's snowfall anomaly, could probably make it with their snowpack, but the northern kingdom of Vermont is just too far for many to travel for limited operations. The guessing game goes on.
