Schweitzer opening earliest in 20 years
November 18, 2017
It's opening day at Schweitzer Mountain Resort, and they are off to a great start this season with the earliest opening they've had in 20 years! The mountain is in good shape with the recent snow fall and all the work our snow making and grooming crew has been doing.

The day is looking good with a few clouds hanging around the summit but those at the top can see all the way to the top of the Basin Express.

Today and Sunday, November 18-19, Schweitzer Mountain Resort will be open from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. with limited operations on Basin Express, Musical Chairs and Magic Carpet only.

Discounted lift ticket pricing will be in effect - $45 for full day tickets. Ticket prices will change when more terrain and lifts are added to the operations schedule!

After the weekend, they will close mid-week, November 20 to 23, and reopen on Friday, November 24, for the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend. Monday, November 27, they will again close for mid-week, then re-open on Friday, December 1, with their full seven day winter schedule!

In the past 48 hours, nine inches of new snow has fallen on the mountain, today skies are partly cloudy, visibility is clear and the skiing good!

They are planning on adding terrain as conditions allow so continue to check in with us here for the latest weather and operations updates!
