official date: December 19th

Actual date usually right after thanksgiving (always opens wayyyy before the offical date they put out)

Considering its supposed to snow here tonight it will be way earlier then december. I hear they will start blowing snow in a week or 2 so theyll be some preseason shit going down

usually around the beginning of december, give or take... earlier than other resorts in the region like wtail, lib, and rtop.
I might hit wisp over break!

if you're looking for early season tho, try Big Boulder in PA. it opens soon.. way worth the drive!

i've heard about big boulder..
the reason I'm going with wisp is the cross country skiing for my sister...

hah! hahahahaha


i'm sorry.



but for serious, there won't be cross country skiing early season there, but there will be a small jib park that is always a good time.

and the one thing that is sick about wisp compared to BB, is that it isn't crowded.


but basically in all other ways, BB blows wisp out of the water.

ive heard boulder is looking to open a small park either this weekend or next. probably not worth taking a weekend trip down, but if your close it would be basically unacceptable to miss

Anyways cross country skiing starts in like late December (i used to help out in the nordic center where the cross country skiing hq is) its all done on natural snow is it depends on snow fall really.

I'll be there this week.
I heard (from the man himself) that T-wall is hosting a clinic on Tuesday the 30th.
