Ski Season 2021-22 - Openings


Shane

Recommended Posts

The end of last week saw the opening of Killington Vermont, once again positioning itself as the first in the East.

Sommet Saint-Sauveur mounted a good defense with heavy snowmaking along Cote 70 Ouest, but the return of milder weather put a quick end to those efforts. Current forecast calls for a mild week so we may not see much action for the next few days or week until things once again cool off.

One thing is for sure, it won't be long now...

I am hoping it will be soon! It was a very late start for me last season, December 24th was the first day. The past few years before were either late October at Sauveur or early November at Gleason, or Orford. There is a chill in there air at night but doesn't seem to be enough to get the guns going full tilt. Bromont last weekend was a bit white but with the warmth it probably has since melted, or close to it.

Here's a photo taken last Saturday of Bromont. Looks like a test run though.

Furthermore, ASSQ products, such as provincial passes and Passe-Partout will unfortunately not be accepted during these first two weekends of exclusive operations for members.

Operation of the first days

Only members wishing to ski will have access to the lift and the terrace in front of the main lodge. Control will be made to manage the entry/exit to the site.

The capacity of the site will be controlled. It is, therefore, possible that there will be a wait before accessing the site, depending on the number of visitors.

For the first few days of operation, the main lodge will not be open. Members must arrive ready to ski. It will not be possible to change clothes or eat inside the lodge.

T-Bar 70 will be open as well as the cafeteria in bring-your-own mode.

The customer experience, the boutique and the washrooms will be open to all.

Once you have Lilly’s Leap open at Owl’s Head you are golden. Clearly the flagship and nicest run in Quebec, and one I could never get enough of. 
 

Has anyone hit the slopes yet this season?

Edelweiss and Vorlage are opening in a week with the other hills in the region likely to open about the same time.
