When are we opening?

Snowmaking Nov 15, 2023

Get ready for another season of slippery fun! The perennial question of “When are you opening?” has hit us. We’re keeping a close eye on the forecast, and we’re, as usual, aiming for the Friday after Thanksgiving.

To prep Sterling, we need a good cold for 48 hours. Based on the current forecast, we’re eyeing Sunday and Monday for snowmaking, with Wednesday and Thanksgiving day into Friday looking promising. Our tentative opening plan includes Upper Rumrunner, Crossover, Treasure, Lower Exhibition, Smugglers’ Alley, and a connection to and from Lot 1. Lower Rumrunner might make the cut depending on temperatures next week.

For now, uphill access remains closed due to limited natural snow. We’re waiting for safer conditions before opening preseason uphill access on Madonna and Morse.

Stay tuned for an opening update next Monday morning, and in the meantime, dust off those skis and boards and buy your pass or badge if you haven’t yet – the season is almost here!
