November 20th, finally a snow storm, much anticipated, and much appreciated, courtesy of Mother Nature. Many areas affected by it have seen anywhere from 5-15cm of snow accumulate. While this isn't anywhere enough to open ski mountains, it does signal the proper weather conditions to allow solid snowmaking to take place.

Looking at the week ahead, more snow is forecasted, and the weather should stay within the sweet spot for snowmaking to continue in the days to come.

Here are some of the more imminent openings coming up...

Sommet Saint-Sauveur is opening tomorrow, November 22nd at 1pm, and should once again claim the title of being the first in Quebec to open. Mont Tremblant's official opening day is November 24th (only 3 days away). Mont-Sainte-Anne will be opening on November 26th (Saturday).

In the Eastern US, Killington has been operating nice and strong for several weeks now. Joining them shortly will be Sugarbush, Loon, Okemo, Mount Snow and Sunday River on November 23rd (Wednesday), Sugarloaf on November 24th (Thursday), Jay Peak on November 25th (Friday).

Keep your eyes glued to your favorite ski resort's Facebook page, as early teasers and notices of opening day are often posted there. Think snow and get ready, go time is just days away.
