November 11, 2017 |
Thanks to consistent temperatures for snow
making and some significant early natural
snowfall, Schweitzer Mountain Resort is pleased
to announce the start of the 2017/18 season on
Saturday, November 18.
"It’s been a fabulous November for snowfall,"
said Marketing Manager Dig Chrismer. “We’ve
received 37 inches so far this month and with
the temps staying below freezing on the
mountain, we’ve been able to make snow as well.
The long range La Nina forecast seems to be
kicking in and that’s a perfect scenario for
getting our skiers and riders back on the
slopes.”
The resort plans on limited operations and
services Saturday and Sunday, November 18-19,
with Musical Chairs and Basin Express Quad
running from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Adult full day lift tickets will be $45. The
resort will close mid-week and reopen on Friday,
November 24, for the Thanksgiving holiday
weekend. The resort will then suspend lift
operations November 27 to 30 and recommence
Friday, December 1, for the full seven day a
week operating schedule.
Early season lodging discounts are also
available with rooms at the Selkirk Lodge
starting at $99 per night until November 30,
2017.
"The forecast looks good for additional snowfall
in the coming weeks, making it possible to add
more lifts and terrain as we can," Chrismerb
added. "This is really a great opportunity for
our local skiers and riders to shake out their
legs and reconnect with winter.”
Guests are reminded that the Schweitzer Cut-Off
Road from Highway 95 is still closed at this
time and the detour via Bronx Road is still in
place.
