Skiing or snowboarding on Memorial Day weekend is a bragging right reserved for a select group of individuals that are extremely fortunate.
I mean, think about it. Sliding on snow at the end of May is practically unfathomable for most regions of the country. With that being said, there are still a decent amount of ski resorts planning to spin lifts this weekend.
There are some usual suspects, and some surprise newcomers this year that benefitted from late season snow.
Take a look at the full list below!
