Usually Sunday River tries for as early as possible targeting by Halloween, but last year they didn't due to Covid and not wanting to crowd very little open terrain. Then mother nature crushed hopes for awhile too. I guess we'll see what happens this year! I do wonder what they are thinking about it right now.

Wild Mtn (MN) and Trollhaugen (WI) usually aim for the first weekend in Nov..but have been earlier. Last year I remember skiing before Halloween.

I haven't connected in a while - and the first thing just now I did was to look for an "opening dates" thread - since I KNEW there must be one! Strangely comforting to have found it as I expected. :-) How well we know this family...

In any case, Grandvalira (Andorra) plans to open on Dec 3rd. I have my season pass already as it was passed from last season to this. I already plan to head down on 2 Dec to my apartment and to ski the weekend. Very excited - regardless of snow coverage.

I would love to try the skiing in the Pyrenees...... A side trip to Spain and then skiing Andorra sounds good to me.
