Vermont Business Magazine Mount Snow, which was recently named Best Snow in The East by Ski Magazine, will open for skiing and riding on Saturday, October 27 with what it describes as "the most skiable terrain in The East." This is the earliest opening in Mount Snow's 64-year history and was made possible with favorable weather this past week, "which allowed us to fire up the most powerful snowmaking system in The East and make some great progress on our Main Face and over on The North Face."
“Mother Nature came through with the right temperatures allowing our team to utilize the $30 million investment we made in our snowmaking system during our West Lake Water Project to celebrate the earliest opening day in our 64-year history,” said Erik Barnes, vice president & general manager of Mount Snow. “We know that skiers and riders all over The East are champing at the bit to get out there and enjoy the slopes, and we can’t wait to welcome them all on Saturday.”
Mount Snow will open for skiing and riding with lifts running from 8 am to 3:30 pm. There will be no beginner terrain available. Mount Snow said in a press release that additional terrain may be added as temperatures allow for further snowmaking operations, with up-to-date trail, terrain, and conditions information available on the Snow Report. Mount Snow will start the ‘18/19 season with weekends-only operations before welcoming guests seven days a week at a date to be announced.
Skiers and riders are encouraged to visit mountsnow.com/passes and to pick up their Peak Passes before opening day for seamless access to the slopes. The Season Pass office will be open in The Clocktower from 8 am - 4:30 pm on weekdays, and 7:30 am – 4 pm on Saturday and Sunday. Day tickets will be available for purchase at ticket windows starting one half-hour before lifts start running, or at mountsnow.com/tickets for the best deals.
