Although several resorts postponed last week’s opening due to warm temperatures and lack of snow, there were still a great many who did open. Still none in Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, British Columbia, and just Mammoth Mountain in California.

However, this week should see all that change as many resorts go all out to be open in time for Thanksgiving.

This is it––winter 21/22 is officially underway. Let it snow!
