Seven Springs Resort in Western PA will open on Thursday from 11 to 7. They only turned on their guns for 4 slopes, so only Wagner, Upper Phillip's, Fawn Lane, and the Foggy Bowl will be open. They have a 16-24" base right now and are expecting more natural tonight and tomorrow. They will have 2 lifts open.

Hidden Valley is expected to open on Friday (As seen on their site). They have a 20 inch base, but Im not sure what slopes will be open.

FINALLY!

UPDATE:

Quote from Hidden Valley


"The current cold weather is providing some excellent snowmaking conditions, and Hidden Valley Resort plans to open the slopes for the season on Friday, December 11, 2009 and remain open through Sunday, December 13. Hours for the opening weekend will be 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. The resort will close the slopes December 14 through December 17, and reopen Friday, December 18 for the season.

Hidden Valley is also pleased to offer FREE skiing again this year. All guests on Sunday, December 13 can receive a complimentary ski ticket by donating two canned food items. The food will be used to help those in need. All contributions will be given to the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank and the Community Action Partnership for Somerset County, Tableland Services, Inc. Guests will need to get a complimentary ski ticket at the ticket sales window. Ski tickets on Sunday, December 13 will cost $10 without a canned goods donation with the proceeds benefiting the local food banks.

Ski or snowboard rental equipment and lessons will be available this weekend at discounted rates. Hidden Valley’s rental shop will be offering new Elan Skis for $15 and Atomic snowboards for $20. Dining will be available at the Ski Lodge Express, The Yukon restaurant, The Clock Tower Restaurant and the new Black Diamond Pub & Grill and Falling Leaf restaurant. Glaciers Lounge will also be open."





I guess free skiing isnt bad at all, no matter how bad the slopes are
