I was at Sugarbush last weekend when they closed. I think the ski areas should have stayed open doing what Gunstock and Waterville are doing - basically close down the public areas such as the lodges, etc....
Keep the lifts spinning - boot up in the car and brown bag the lunch. Just like the old days. At this point most skiers would stay home anyway, you'd find the one's skiing are pass holders and enthusiasts who get more than 5-6 days a year in. Take away the fru-fru and most stay home.
