Lifted from the SR Community board:

Sunday River is the First Resort in the East to Open for a Third Year in a Row!
B-roll and digital pictures of Sunday River’s opening will be available to download starting at 4 p.m. EST: http://www.sundayriver.com/Corporate/Media/Video_BRoll.html



Newry, MAINE (Oct. 14, 2009) – For the past two years Sunday River has been the first resort in the East to open, doing so on Halloween both times, and today, they’re staking the claim once more opening a full 13 days before Halloween and every other East Coast ski area out there. Sunday River will offer free skiing and riding this afternoon until 3:30 p.m.

Sunday River received three inches of natural snow yesterday, October 13, and has used this and the cold temperatures this past week to make enough man-made snow to open.

“Cold temperatures and advanced snowmaking technologies including tower guns and fan guns helped us open,” said Dana Bullen, Sunday River General Manager. “Opening ahead of the pack is a great treat to offer skiers and riders across New England and we’re proud to be able to stake this claim for a third year in a row.”

Tomorrow, lift access will begin at 9 a.m. and will remain open though Sunday, before temporarily closing for the following midweek period.

Open terrain includes the upper mountain and is for advanced skiers and riders only.

Lift tickets starting tomorrow will be $25 for all ages, and can be purchased out of Barker Base Lodge.

Lift access will be on the Locke Mountain Triple. Additional trails may open for the weekend depending on temperatures and snowmaking. Updates and conditions reports will be posted online at www.sundayriver.com.

Can't go this weekend. If they are still open the weekend after I might have to give it a shot and get the Jones out. Who wants to watch my kids?

The bigger deal we make out of this, the more competition it will create. And competition between ski resorts benefits us all.

They weigh 34 and 39 lbs, so er no. But they do love to run around with sticks and hit things with them.
