The Olympic mountain will open tomorrow, Saturday, Nov. 17, six days ahead of schedule.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe weather conditions and temperatures have been ideal for the last couple of weeks for snowmaking,\u201d said the mountain\u2019s general manager Aaron Kellett. \u201cEveryone at the mountain is excited to be opening early and we\u2019re all preparing for what\u2019s shaping up to be a great season ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This marks the earliest opening for the Olympic mountain since 2003-\u201904 when the season began on Nov. 16. Three trails, Upper Valley, Lower Valley and Fox trails, will be open this weekend, with one lift, the Facelift quad. The mountain\u2019s nursery and Kids Kampus programs will not be available.<\/p>\n<p>Lift tickets are $25 for all skiers and riders and that money can be used towards the purchase of your 2012-\u201913 season pass.<\/p>\n<p>The season pass deadline has been extended to Sunday, Nov. 18, for both Whiteface and Gore. The adult non-holiday pass is available for just $699, while the adult full-season pass is just $869. The young adult and college season pass can be purchased for $385 and the junior pass is only $299.<\/p>\n<p>After this weekend, Whiteface will close Sunday, at 4 p.m., and re-open Friday, Nov. 23, in time for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Trails and lifts are subject to change this weekend.
