 Jay, Vermont (Ski Press)-In true Jay Peak fashion, natural snow has begun to accumulate just in time for opening day. The mountain has already been blanketed in snow a few times with more than 30” of early season snow – 17” in October and 14” in November – and with an average of nearly 3 feet of snow through November, there’s plenty more to come. So, for the second season
in a row, Jay Peak will start turning lifts in advance of its traditional Thanksgiving opening day; the resort plans to open this Saturday, November 22nd.
Hunter Mountain started snowmaking Monday with plans to open on Saturday. Windham Mountain will also be open from 9am to 4pm on Saturday and Sunday, November 22-23, for the first runs of the season. Windham has lowered its lift ticket price to $25 for juniors and $35 for adults for this weekend only. The mountain will be closed next Monday and Tuesday to lay down some more snow, but it will reopen at 9am on Wednesday, November 26, for the season. |
