Thursday won’t be opening day at Red Mountain after all.
The Rossland ski hill had originally wanted to open on Saturday, but then pushed the start the season back a few days due to warm temperatures and lack of snow.
But sales and marketing director Kevin Manuel said Thursday is a no-go.
“We’re still contemplating an opening on Saturday, but we need to see how this next storm unfolds before we make any decisions,” he said. “Hopefully the temps cool off a bit. We need snow to the base. The forecast looks promising, but it’s too early to tell how things will unfold.”
The current snow depth is 76 centimeters but there has been no snow reported over the past 72 hours. Four centimeters are expected to fall today, followed by one centimeter tomorrow, and nine centimeters on Thursday.
