Last weekend saw the first mountains in the US open for the season. These are the ones I know of and their park setups:

Arapahoe Basin, CO
Opened Friday 10/19 with 4 features.



Killington, VT
Opened Friday, 10/19. I don’t have the park setup for Killington, but if you were there, it’s be really sick if you entered the features in Ullr


Tyrol Basin, WI
Pre-season hike park on Sunday, 10/21 with 6 features.



If you want to check out the park setups in more detail or enter your mountain, check out the app at ullr.ski.

Did I miss any? What mountain has the best pre-season park?

Any idea how crowded it will be? Usually Killi has ~1hr lift lines this time of year

I doubt it will be as bad as killington, where you have to access terrain by the walkway.
They are working on a mini park on the mainface and Carinthia early season park set up later on.
So every gaper, fratstar, and jerry will be on the same lift.

That app is a great idea. Especially when you live within driving distance of several places

Yeah I was there Saturday. A transformer on a powerline exploded and I got to send a top to bottom in 4 inches of powder with no base.

killington has great coverage and they have a full early season park on Reason.

Well the 9th is "estimated" but with opening only a week away, they would have to be pretty confident with this date.

I guarantee Goat's eye will be closed. They're may even be like 5 or 6 runs open off of Angel or Standish
Atleast they'll have a small park open

So jealous of everyone skiing rn. I really hope wet get snow here in PA soon and cold temps, cause it’s been real warm lately which is a bummer. And I don’t think it’s supposed to get cold anytime soon.

I saw a crash report just now that was caused by the app not having permission to access the phones location. Idk if that was you. If it was, you should be able to fix it by allowing location access. I’ll work on fixing that bug
