Lack of snow has pushed Red Mountain Resort’s opening day back a few days.
Originally the Rossland ski hill was expecting to open this Saturday, but it is now targeting Thursday, Dec. 18 instead.
“We’re still looking for another big storm (or two) before we can open the mountain the way it deserves to be opened,” Red wrote on its website.
However, they added, the forecast looks promising. Four centimeters are projected today and another three centimeters tomorrow. Once the snow arrives, the operations team will need some time for track packing, grooming, and boundary setup.
Monday’s snow report showed no new snow overnight, but seven centimeters in the last 24 hours, and 30 centimeters in the last week. The current alpine depth is 69 centimeters.
