Mammoth Mountain in California has already announced that it will be open into June as it has seen some late-season snow.

Mammoth Mountain has even stayed open into early August a few times.
The USA has seen record numbers of ski visits this season according to a recent report from the National Ski Areas Association, NSAA.
