Like the title says. When does the white stuff usually start falling on/around your home mountain? For me its usually mid-late november and I usually get my first session done around the first few weeks of December.

since they are completely run by manmade snow we dont usually get to ski untill mid december, no park till january. then they close in mid march. we have a great few months but unfortunatly thats all we get. cant wait to move to utah or somewhere.

Usually early September, then real heavy through October and November.

During a good year, the mtn opens early November, before Thanksgiving.

Medium year, around Thanksgiving.

Bad year, early December. I actually don't know if I've skiied in a year when Baker opened in Dec. I think I just made that shit up.


But yeah, usually skiing in Nov.
