Snow Reporter Comments: 11/25 Update: It's finally starting to look a little more wintery up here! We received a dusting of fresh snow across the mountain on Monday and even fired up the snowmaking machines overnight. This is a great step toward opening, but we’re not quite there yet. At this point, we know we won’t be able to open this weekend. We’re keeping a close eye on the forecast and working hard to get the mountain ready as soon as possible. As soon as we have an opening date, we’ll share it with you!In the meantime, enjoy an amazing Thanksgiving with your family and friends.
