Snow is falling in Utah, Colorado, California and across the Alps! It’s official, winter is on its way!
We’re counting down the days and making all of our pre-season preparations. Time to get your skis and boards tuned, put snow tires on your car, and to trade the hiking boots in your trunk for skins and avi gear.
Make sure you don’t miss a single day of skiing - mark your calendar with these early-season opening day events! Here’s a list of US ski mountains opening between now and Thanksgiving. (source: OntheSnow)
