Thanks to our incredible volunteers and staff, plus favorable temperatures, snowmaking started on November 26 and has run straight though since then! The forecast continues to look favorable through mid-December. We are currently on track for our scheduled opening day of Saturday, December 13. We will NOT be opening earlier than 12/13.
