Blue Mountain Resort will open on Friday, which is the earliest opening in the last five years.
In an announcement this afternoon, Blue Mountain resort said its 77th ski season would start Nov. 30 with two top-to-bottom runs open and the Silver Bullet chairlift and Easy Rider Magic Carpet also open.
The resort will also host opening day ceremonies with music and free hot chocolate beginning at 8 a.m.
Frost the Fox, the mascot for Blue Mountain Village Association, will make the first run with a ski patrol escort. The first six people on the chairlift will receive a free prize. The first chairlift up the hill leaves at 8:30 a.m.
The slopes are open from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and lift tickets will be $30 for all ages.
Last year’s ski season ran from Dec. 12 to April 30.
