Opening dates come from resort announcements: "confirmed date" is the resort's own announcement, "planned date" a date the resort has qualified (targeted, projected, weather permitting) or one from its operator's release. A resort with "no date announced" shows an estimate — the median of its last five recorded openings, placed on 2026-27; "usual" is the median of every recorded opening. "Announcement" links the notice a date came from, when we have one. The calendar self-updates as dates are announced each fall.

Season-length records

Closing dates are much sparser than opening dates, so these records include only seasons where both dates are known.
