Early snowfall and colder temps in the midwest has allowed three ski areas to get up and running for the 2022/23 ski season. That’s right, you can go make October ski turns right here in the USA.
To give an overview of what the conditions and operations will look like this weekend, here is an update from Wild Mountain.
“Our snowmaking team hustled the last two nights, and successfully made enough snow for us to open. Yes, the 2022/23 season will kickoff at 12pm today! October 18th matches second earliest opening date in our history (we opened on October 18th in 1992). Wild’s earliest opening date was October 7th in 2012.
Keep in mind that we’ve only had two nights of snowmaking, so our terrain will be extremely limited….
We have early season conditions so all guests should expect bare spots, hidden obstacles, rocks, snowmaking equipment and other obstructions.
Our snow base is limited, so we aren’t sure how long we’ll be able to remain open with the current conditions… so, get in your car and get up here!”
