Cataloochee in North carolina will open the 10th of november, possibly earlier. They opened the 1st weekend of november last year. 2nd to open in the east(the first just set up a small trail or some shit. cataloochee had more terrain open).

And Locally for me, it'll be Thanksgiving Weekend.
Holiday Valley always has that for their target, and usually meets it.

yeah in the mountains there they got a much higher elevation than say upstate new york so then can make snow earlier cause of the colder temps

Unfortunately I've heard this is absolutely NOT going to be the case this year. Due to the new management they are running a much shorter season this year. Planning to end skiing by late April!!! So weak.

Ha, my season ends april 1st. I'm just saying, like last year I was gonna go mid-may but they ended up closing about the first week of may. Now they're closing at the end of April. Just stupid when you have so much snow and put so much effort into making it all.
