A weather system sweeping in from Canada and through Great Lakes and the Ohio River Valley has brought snowmaking temperatures to Mt. Holly Ski & Snowboard Resort. While many of us figured there would not be any skiing or snowboarding until the Thanksgiving weekend at the earliest (usually a pretty safe bet), Mt. Holly publicly announced a very real possibility for an early opener, on their Facebook page this morning:

Tuesday 11/12/13. With our first successful snowmaking night under our belts and another one forecast forecast for tonight, an earliest season opener ever is possible on Wednesday 11/13/13. We will post updates here as they occur.

While more “normal” temperatures are forecast to resume this weekend and in to early next week, the longer-term forecast suggests that winter weather may return as early as the middle of next week. Keep your fingers crossed, do your snow dance or whatever superstitions you have, and pray for snow.

Season passes are still available for a slightly discounted price of $546 (5% discount). Individual lift ticket prices:

Weekday 1/2 day: $34

Weekday full day: $47

Weekend 1/2 day: $42

Weekend full day: $55
