High Noon, accessed via the Black Mountain Express, was open for skiers and riders. The resort also put on giveaways and donuts for the first guests in line and a DJ from 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.

As the skiers’ website, we couldn’t let an opening day go by without one of our writers being there, so look for one of our popular reports tomorrow.

The resort has plans to continue snow-making and opening more terrain as quickly as possible, starting next with Lenawee Face and Dercum Dash.
