I kind of don’t understand what the the op is getting at. Why would any ski area that wanted to open delay out side of weather preventing it? It’s not like it’s all areas trying
Many areas operate on a set schedule open and close. That’s a business decision. Plenty of areas shut down with plenty is skiing available. In many cases the NPS mandate closure for animal breeding. Your likely going to see several in the next couple of weeks. All with plenty of snow (at least out west)
The areas that choose to remain open late and have the means and support are the same. If they think there is profit to be made, Why not?
Overall I think with the expansion and improvements in snow making, the seasons are getting longer at certain places. And heck you can ski all year if you throw in the big Ramp in the Meadowlands
