There is Plattekill in Upstate NY, Mountain Creek in NJ (which holds the US-Open), Killington is decent but very technical and out may have to pedal.
There's Mt. Snow which holds the Nationals, and a few more...

Pretty sure Bromont and MSA are open all week. Can't stake my life on that though

I'm pretty sure nobody is going to be open midweek for another month or so. Of the mtns listed on this thread so far, Bromont is the only one I cant say definitively will NOT be open midweek until late June/Early July. If you find someplace that does PLEASE post it!
Lexx I came hope from a GREAT trip to Snowshoe last night for the opening weekend and had a blast. If you want to here more about it let me know. Its good riding and the crew that runs the mountain bike park at the nicest people and they have done a great job.
Mont Ste. Anne
MSA and bromont both open up all week very soon, check website for dates
Are you serious? Have you ever ridden Plattekill or Sunday River?
I'm pretty sure it's a typo, he meant to say, NOT very technical. Just a guess....

Perhaps.... but NO-ONE ever calls it that.
C'est Mont Ste Anne tabarnac!
Bromont :
June 8th to August 31st, Open everyday of the week.
MSA :
Seems to say 'Beginning of June to Mid October' 9am to 5pm
Bromont is between Montreal and Sherbrooke on Highway 10. (about 60mins from Montreal?)
MSA is 50 kms or so past Quebec City, which is about 250kms from Montreal...About a 3 hour drive max i'd say?

Nope, Tremlant hasn't allowed biking in over 2 years i think...Too bad, it was a cool place to spend the weekend riding and partying...they only allow biking for the Quebec Cup and Canada Cup...
You've got to head to the Old Quebec City for some great food and beer! Oh, and bunnies too...

After June 18, Whiteface Mountain outside of Lake Placid, NY does lifts every day. Not a bad place: steep, cheap (20 bux?) and has a lot of semi-technical singletrack. No man made obstacles but a few drops.
Gore Mountain in North Creek, NY begins weekday lifts in July I think. Not bad but short.
West Mountain in Glens Falls, NY MAY have weekday lift hours but I'm not sure.
Mount Snow has weekend lifts now and after July 4 weekend will do weekday lifts.
hope that helps!

Attitash is open weekends now, but I *think* that I read that they'll be open mid-week in another month or so. I just read some trail reviews on bustedspoke.com that were very good, and they have a high-speed quad. What direction would you be coming from? Attitash is only ~<1/2 hour from I-93, but there are faster ways to get there if you are coming from Boston. I think its in Bartlett, NH.
Whiteface! Starting in 2 weeks they are open 7 days a week from 9-4. Fun Trails and quite long!
u NEED to ride a weekend at platty and diablo/mt creek. if ur comin east, u cant miss them.
You'd be lucky if they open for the weekend. Last summer they didn't offer weekday lift hours and closed a month early (Labor Day instead of Columbus Day). They were supposed to open Memorial Day and have yet to open (not even for this weekend and they aren't sure if they will open next weekend or not).
I ride at platty every sunday(well almost) So since i live an hour south of albany i don't know if you would say I'm comin east
