Article is lengthy so I've clipped the parts most relative to this list:
HUNTER, N.Y.—
The book is closing on what will be remembered as a spectacular season,
when the snow arrived early, skipped the usual thaws and freezes and
kept
piling up long past the point anyone had a right to expect. In the Green
Mountains of Vermont, where Killington Resort reported 120 inches in
March
alone and Mount Snow racked up 44 inches in 10 days, snow banks still
meet
the rooftops. Street signs and ground-floor windows remain hidden.
The bounty has inspired a few southern New England areas — Sugarbush and
Okemo Mountain Resorts in Vermont and Jiminy Peak in Massachusetts — to
hold on a bit longer. But only Killington, upholding its tradition of
running later than any other resort, will keep going until the snow
leaves. Blessed with 315 inches this season, with up to 9 feet still
covering the ground, the mountain's operators hope to stay open well
into
May or even June. Even there, interest is wearing out among the people
who
live off the snow as well as those who usually live to cut through it.
"Just last week we were expecting a northeaster," said Patrick Ruben,
29,
the executive chef of the Birch Ridge Inn near Killington. "It missed us
and if it had hit, there would have been another three feet of snow.
Everybody who moved to the area because of the snow and whose
livelihoods
depend on it was saying, `Not another storm!' They're tired of it."
