It's the penultimate day at most major resorts, and instead of eulogies, we're getting plot twists. Natural Selection Ski goes live from Alaska tonight at 7 p.m. ET — the biggest backcountry freestyle event of the season, broadcasting from terrain that makes your home mountain look like a bunny hill. Meanwhile, Black Mountain in New Hampshire just declared it's skiing to Memorial Day, which is the kind of small-mountain audacity that keeps this sport honest. The PNW pulled 36 centimeters in the last 24 hours and has more coming. Jackson's looking at 23 centimeters by midweek. Even Jay Peak is out there carving spring corn through the trees like it's nobody's business. Tomorrow the gates close at a lot of places. Today, though? Today there's still skiing to be done, and the mountains aren't finished talking.
