They did not make enough snow last night to open today, I really did not think they would.  I would not be surprised if they open tomorrow though.  Keep checking back here if you are planning on coming up this weekend

You should Tinga!  We gotta get a ton of people out opening weekend!  I am not to sure on ticket prices as of right now, but I want to say it will be around $20 give or take a little.   Almost positive that they will make snow tonight, looking at the webcam right now and it looks like they are getting the snow guns ready to blow snow!  I can call tomorrow and find out hours and ticket prices for preseason.

I can guarantee you welch wont be unless we get a miraculous huge blizzard or something. Peter said they will only just start to make a little snow by this weekend.  Opening day most likely to be December 4th or 5th

Depends what part of the cities your coming from... but from Stillwater Trollhaugen is about 15 minutes closer than Wild is.   Yeah, there will be up to 4 maybe 5 if were lucky different things set up, the main run is longer than Wilds run that is open and the bunny hill is longer that will be open with a Rope.

they will be able to blow snow for a very long time tonight, so chances are about 50/50 on opening tomorrow.

Was just at Trollhaugen with Nick and they are making snow on nearly every run. Chances of being open are high I would say. But if they are not I will not be surprised

Trolls new park on Valhalla:  Far left line:  Drop in, Jump, and a 25 foot jump that is real nice for Troll.

Middle Line: new battleship rail(way fun!) Down flat down rail, step up.

Right Line: Flat box, 20 foot shotgun downbar, little jump, 50 foot flat bar.

Summit park(double tow)- not much in it right now, resetting it with all the good features on thursday night hopfully depending on forecast.
