Snowbowl Opening Day Announcement

Opening Day, Upcoming Events and What’s Happening for Snowbowl Operations

Dear Snowbowl Community,

The wait is over—our official Opening Day for the 2024-25 season is set for Wednesday, December 11th, at 9:00 a.m.! The rope drop will mark the beginning of another unforgettable year on the slopes, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome you back.

A Strategic Start

This fall’s challenging weather has demanded an extra layer of strategy and effort. Like the rest of the Northeast, we’re navigating the ongoing drought, which has impacted our snowmaking resources. As stewards of these precious resources, we’ve been deliberate and strategic in our operations, making the most of each snowmaking window while conserving water for the ideal conditions.

With cold temperatures finally on our side, we are going all in on snowmaking today, December 6th, and tomorrow, December 7th, focusing our efforts on Lang, Cameron, and the Carpet area. Our snowmaking team will work around the clock to ensure these areas are ready for our first guests. By tomorrow evening, we anticipate wrapping up this phase of snowmaking, allowing our surface team to push and groom the snow for a smooth, enjoyable start to the season.

What to Expect on Opening Day

On Wednesday, December 11th, skiers and riders will have access to Lang, Cameron, and the Carpet terrain. These areas are perfect for early-season laps to build your snow legs. As we progress, our next snowmaking target will be Kelton, aiming to expand terrain as conditions allow.

Night Skiing and Events

• First Night Skiing: Our first night of skiing for the season is scheduled for Wednesday, December 18th. Join us for turns under the lights and enjoy the Monthly Blues Jam with local legend Dennis Willmott and Left Eye Jump in the base lodge from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The event is free and open to all, whether you’re skiing or just enjoying the après atmosphere.
• Mountain of Cheer Celebration: Mark your calendar for Friday, December 20th, for our “Mountain of Cheer” holiday celebration. This community event will coincide with night skiing, featuring live music from Lowell Thompson and The Neon Ramblers, cozy fires, and a chance to reconnect with friends and family over great food and drinks. It’s an event for all ages, and we can’t wait to celebrate the season with you.

A Season of Gratitude

We owe a huge thank you to our snowmaking and operations teams. Their tireless efforts and strategic planning in the face of challenging conditions have made Opening Day possible. When you see them out on the mountain, give them a wave and your thanks—they’ve earned it!

We can’t wait to see you on the mountain. Let’s make this season one to remember!

See you Wednesday,

The Snowbowl Team
