Roughly 200 Ski Resorts Now Open Worldwide

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:00:00 +0000

by Patrick Thorne Kiltarlity, Scotland, UK - As heavy snow in Western Canada has led to November avalanche warnings at Whistler, where the snow depth is rapidly heading towards two meters only a few days after the resort's early opening, the first delayed openings elsewhere have also been announced. With little snow in Eastern Europe, Bansko, which had planned to open last weekend, has delayed opening; while Mont-Sainte-Anne in Quebec, Canada, which had planned to open this weekend has also decided to delay with weather too warm for much snow making. Alta in Utah has delayed its planned Friday opening, but may still open within the next week if a storm projected for this weekend delivers.

Not that we feel sorry for them, but especially in these tough economic times, there's something to be said about staying close to home, riding at your local resort and gettin' back to basics. read more
