Where We Stand On Opening Day At Nordic Valley
We wanted to take a moment to share where things stand with opening day, because we know you’re anxiously waiting for that first lap of the season. We feel it too. If we could flip the switch on winter today, we would. So here’s a clear look at what we’re seeing on the mountain and what it will take to get the season started.
Last week brought us 10 inches of snow, but recent days haven’t delivered the colder temperatures needed to build and hold a solid base. Without consistent cold, it’s tough for natural snow to stick and it limits when we can run our snowmaking system. Nobody wants to see those chairs spinning more than our crew does but until we receive colder temps and a little help from Mother Nature, we’re sad to share that our scheduled opening day will be moving back.
The good news is that our snowmaking system received key enhancements over the offseason, and our team is watching temperatures nonstop. The moment things drop into range, we’ll fire up snowmaking and move as quickly as possible. To open, we typically need a few solid days of cold, stable temps paired with a little help from Mother Nature to lay down the base we need. Once winter settles in, things can turn around quickly.
The moment we have the coverage to support a strong start to the season, a new opening day will be announced. Until then, do your snow rituals, think cold thoughts, and keep checking back here for all the updates as we push toward welcoming you back.
