Note: Due to the pandemic, many resorts have modified operations and may require reservations. So if you live in North America, now’s the time to grab a new shell or bib if you need it, wax those skis, or take a backcountry safety course. It’s by no means a record to see ski resorts open this early - at least not in Colorado, where some resorts have historically opened as early as the first week of October - but it is impressive. Last weekend, a Banff resort had its earliest opening weekend in history. And this weekend, several other mountains are following suit. Ski season doesn’t usually start in October, but for some resorts, it will. More information regarding the novelties and offerings for the upcoming ski and ride season at Heavenly, Northstar, and Kirkwood will be shared as November draws closer.Think October is just for hiking, leaf-peeping, and camping? Think again, because snow is falling and ski resorts are open. Guests are encouraged to purchase their Epic Pass products or lift tickets in advance, especially as daily lift ticket availability will be limited across all resorts to enhance the guest experience.Īll winter opening dates are subject to weather conditions, with resorts commencing snow production as soon as weather conditions allow in the autumn. While plastic cards will still be an option for guests who prefer not to use their phones as passes, Mobile Pass will debut on the new My Epic app in the fall of 2023. This eliminates the need to queue at the ticket window or wait for pass delivery, also contributing to a reduction in plastic and RFID chip waste. This innovative technology enables guests to conveniently store their pass on their smartphones, allowing for seamless, hands-free scanning using Bluetooth® Low Energy technology. In addition, a novel feature this season is the Mobile Pass & Mobile Lift Ticket technology accessible through the new My Epic app. Guests have until Labor Day, Monday, September 4, to secure the best rates for season-long skiing and snowboarding before prices rise. The 2023/24 Epic Pass options are now available for purchase, offering new benefits and experiences for the season. Our teams at Heavenly, Kirkwood, and Northstar have maintained their dedication and focus throughout the summer to ensure another outstanding ski and ride experience for our valued guests.” After an extraordinary winter, expectations are high this year.
Tom Fortune, Vice President and COO of Heavenly Mountain Resort and the Tahoe region, expressed the excitement: “The anticipation for the upcoming ski and ride season, the prospect of more snow, and the joy of hitting the slopes with skis and snowboards is a constant drive. Heavenly and Northstar are aiming to open their doors on Friday, November 17, while Kirkwood is targeting Friday, December 1. Heavenly Mountain Resort, Northstar California, and Kirkwood Mountain Resort have announced their anticipated opening dates for the upcoming 2023-2024 skiing and snowboarding season.
