Sometimes there is enough snow to make a few turns in Tuckerman Ravine on Mt. Washington, N.H., on July 4. And occasionally (but not this year, I understand) there is enough snow to fill much of the bowl there. July 6, 1969, comes to mind as an example of that.

Someone reported actually making turns (not many) in the Ravine into August that year!
Other skiing in July in New England that I have heard of:
The year Killington closed on June 22 (1997?), it was reported that there were still a few patches of skiable snow on which a few turns were made in July.
And I was told, perhaps someone can confirm this, that one year in the 90's, Sugarloaf experimented with a snow insulating cover where an elongated whale was covered and it was uncovered in July for a few turns.

The JH Tram opened last weekend for summer skiing with more snow on Rendezvous than I have ever seen before. 700+ this winter so they might be skiing all summer long. Hell, it's still snowing out there.
