WEST DOVER, Vt. (AP) — With temperatures cool enough for snowmaking, Mount Snow opened Nov. 10, its earliest start to the season in nearly a decade.
Killington and Okemo Mountain Resort plan to open soon, with many ski areas following before the end of November.
“Call it a renaissance,” said Mount Snow General Manager Kelly Pawlak. “Guests who have been watching us make snow all week are calling and e-mailing with their praise, and we are so excited to tell them that it’s finally show time.”
After a $3.5 million investment in snowmaking, the resort reported nine trails open, two top to bottom and a six-to-10-inch base.
