Our new scheduled opening date for the 2015-2016 winter season is Wednesday, November 25th (weather permitting). Sadly, this also means that the pre-opening day event for ’15-’16 Season Passholders will not take place, because as soon as they can open, they’ll be open for everyone. Stowe's world-class snowmaking team continues to make snow at every opportunity, and last night they had the snow guns running from top-to-bottom on the following trails: Upper Lord, Lord, Ridgeview, Lower Ridgeview, North Slope, Lower North Slope, and around the base area of the FourRunner Quad.

On those trails there is a good man-made base in the higher elevations, but Mother Nature has prevented Stowe from making as much snow as they would like in the lower elevations & base area. The weather forecast calls for a temperature inversion tonight, so temperatures will be colder in the valleys than they will be up on the mountain. However, they are hopeful that their snowmakers will have one more productive night before mild weather arrives. The next big snowmaking opportunity will be this weekend, when forecasts are calling for a potential multi-day stretch of favorable temperatures into early next week.
