text: You do not have to go far at all.  There are places both here in the USA and in Canada which are open year round.  Most places actually close because they don't have business, not because there is not enough snow.  I've listed places which are open year round on this continent!\n\nMammoth Mountain, California\nMt. Bachelor, Oregon\nMt. Hood, Oregon\nTimberline, Oregon\nApahahoe Basin, Colorado\nTuckerman Ravine, New Hampshire (although this is one you \nhave to hike up... no lift service)\nWhistler-Blackcomb, B.C.-Canada\n\n\nMost of the pro riders and camps are in either Mammoth, Mt. Hood, or Whistler.
