Opening Week Update

Hello Everyone and Happy Holidays
We are open for skiing and riding and the conditions are getting better by the hour! Snowmaking has resumed again over the last 24 hours and before we were able to turn on the guns again Mother Nature came through with 4 inches of fresh snow yesterday. Our Christmas week camp will kick off on Tuesday December 27th with a slopeside meeting at 9:30am. Please ensure that you are here early enough to get checked in on the first day. Coach Hutch has been around the resort today making final preperations for the start of the race program and the rest of the coaches will be here on Monday.

Merry Christmas to all and see you on the hill

Mountain Update

Hello All
We are still on pace for opening on Thursday, construction crews are putting the final touches on the new lodge. The Mt Abram team is going to be hard at work tonight setting up the lodge to make it our new home for the winter.
Snowmaking will resume through tonight and although we did not get Mahoosic completed, the carpet will be open. Boris has been groomed top to bottom and the snowmakers are putting another fresh coat of snow on it tonight.
It has been a race to get going, and we are ready to go!

Happy Skiing, see you Thursday

Race Program Date Change

The lack of cooperation from Mother Nature has forced us to move our opening day to December 22nd. This means the race program start date will be on December 27th (start of Christmas week camp), it still leaves us with one make up day for the date that we missed. Please stay tuned into this blog for more details regarding the make up day!

Pray for snow!
