Pomerelle Ski Resort officials say the season has gone well due to early snow and good conditions all year.
They opened the day after thanksgiving and are still going strong.
Jody Burrows, area manager says "We pride ourselves on our grooming and I think people have tried it and enjoyed it."
Skier Thomas Slusser says "The snow is really good and when they groom the runs, it's really nice."
Burrows estimates that there's 100 inches of snow on top, but says it's not uncommon for them to have 200 inches.
"Not one time this year have we been closed due to weather. And it's not uncommon for us to be closed for several nights and days. Getting too much snow is uncommon for ski resorts. But the roads are closed, if you can't get up here, it doesn't do any good."
Groups coming up to Pomerelle this season came from all over and group sales might be known as the "life blood" for a ski resort.
Night skiing ended but day skiing will continue daily through April 3rd and then on weekends after that.
Season passes go on sale tomorrow.
