FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SNOWBIRD, UTAH – The 39th winter

season at Snowbird Ski & Summer Resort begins Friday, Nov. 20, with

skiing and riding on natural and man-made snow. Snowbird will open at 9

a.m. with the Gadzoom chairlift accessing intermediate and advanced

terrain and Chickadee accessing beginner slopes; additional terrain

will be evaluated as weather conditions permit.

“We’re

excited to kick off what is sure to be a fantastic ski season this

Friday,” said Snowbird President Bob Bonar. “The combination of recent

snowfall, cold temperatures and a promising forecast should help us

work towards opening additional terrain during Thanksgiving week.”

Snowbird

will be offering the Gadzoom and Chickadee chairlifts to skiers and

riders beginning Friday at 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. for Gadzoom, 5 p.m. for

Chickadee. The Snowbird Center and Creekside Lodge will be offering

food, merchandise and equipment rental options throughout the weekend.

A

series of storms are forecasted into next week along with cold

temperatures that should accommodate snowmaking. Last year, Snowbird

received 621 inches of The Greatest Snow on Earth® and had a 195-day

season with skiing and riding from Nov. 7 to May 31, the longest in

Utah.

Snowbird is offering an early season ticket price of

$52. Early-season lodging and lift packages are currently available

starting at $99/person through much of December by calling (800)

i thought opening weekend was way fun, i was just happy i didnt have to hike to the top of alta to get some decent turns. sure it got icy but they did the best they could with what the weather provided, tram is opening tomorow so that should space out the skiiers too.
 
yeah, i had alot of fun. that teeny little cliff band under the lift had me happy. and that bush jib right near the end, and just laying down some rad turns.

anyone know if chairs only passes will be allowed on the tram?
 
I think hes talkin about a season pas bro, most of the time they let chairs only pass-holders ride the tram until the rest of the mountain is open.
 
but, in years past, they let chairs only pass holders onto the tram during "pre/post" season. just checking to see if that was still happening. also, chairs pass is 140 less.
