Haven't been looking around for demo days anywhere besides Massanutten, but figured it wouldn't hurt to start a thread. Whitetail usually has one, and Snowshoe. Not sure what Wintergreen is doing.
The Massanutten Demo Weekend with a tent by Freestyle of Charlottesville is Jan. 12-13, 9am-2pm. Hopefully the cold weather coming in on Wednesday will mean more than enough snowmaking hours before Saturday. It's pretty thin right now.

It's more a local ski shop has one at Whitetail. Whitetail never seems to actively promote it - and its discounted ticket - when one does occur. It being more the sponsoring shop. As many know, it was for many years DC Ski Center (now closed) early January, then the shop in Columbia (?) and recently Alpine which hosted one, but later in the season. I too was recently curious and poked around and saw no evidence of one this season. But eager to learn otherwise!
I looked on both Whitetail and Roundtop's web pages and they don't have any Demo Days listed on their Events Calendar.
FYI, Ski Center has reopened. They're now located just off of Shady Grove Road in Gaithersburg - convenient location on the way to and from Whitetail/Liberty.
Too late, but for future reference in case they keep the same schedule next season . . . Snowshoe has demo days in early December. Dates were Dec. 1-2, 2018.
Snowshoe has Nordica and LibTech Demos this weekend both Saturday and Sunday (1/12-1/13)

If anyone makes it to Whitetail on these Fridays, hope to see a post about which brands show up.
Apparently Freestyle will have a demo tent at Wintergreen this weekend, Jan. 19-20. Don't know details but they had skis from Volkl, Blizzard, and Stöckli at Massanutten in early Jan.
Any more scheduled demo days for the Northeast or Mid Atlantic? Whitetail was supposed to have one tomorrow (22 Feb 19), but I just called to double check and they said that it was cancelled.
Blizzard is having a demo day at Snowshoe this Saturday 9am-3pm with an after-party at Hoots.
