Announced recently, they're opening date is set to kick off the weekend on Friday, November 18. Here are a few other good announcements you might want to know about!

They state on their website,

We strive to stay open as long as possible & late in the season! We start making snow as early as end of October to start the season out!

 

With that said, they confidently and excitedly report they open Saturday, November 19.

Where, as they say on their website, they offer

Midwest's only true mountain ski area experience. Four interconnected peaks overlooking Lake Superior bring big mountain skiing with Up North authenticity.

They're opening date is also Saturday, November 19 and with plenty of new snow, I'd say they'll be good to go, but here's a little more on that:

A forested, hilly oasis in the Central Hillside neighborhood, the park has provided a safe and welcoming environment for generations of Minnesotans in which to enjoy the great outdoors.
