After an excellent start to the season we’ve been enjoying quite the weather rollercoaster with more seasonable temps now returning to the mountain. Snow making and thoughtful grooming have ensured the Practice Slope continues to ski well and a groomed route maintained to Kay’s Grove for those willing to hike. And a very special thanks to the Stark Mountain Foundation for generously donating the funding to repair the Sunnyside Double lift drive as well as the Practice Slope lift motor.

We opened early for our 75th Anniversary Season on Thursday, December 7th. We were blessed with a string of weekly heavy, wet snow storms that had us skiing all over the mountain in great conditions. The inevitable pre-Christmas thaw arrived on cue which relegated us back to Lift 4 and the Practice Slope trails.

November was a quiet month with the Pub and General Store open during the Thanksgiving weekend only. Total Income was $48.8K above budget, driven primarily by season pass revenue from the College passes which was $37.9K above budget.
