Solitude Will Open For Skiing On Friday

Our mountains received a good blanket of snow yesterday and this morning, prompting Solitude Mountain Resort to push up its opening day. It now plans to open this Friday, Nov. 8.

Solitude says it will open with 4 runs and 3 lifts in operation, and will offer a special opening weekend ticket price of only $39 for adults and $24 for children. This early activity will take place at the Moonbeam base area.
