Mount Ashland Forced to Postpone Planned Opening Day Due to Lack of Snow
The Mount Ashland team is anxious to get the season started, but they have had to postpone opening day due to a lack of snow on the mountain.
The Mount "A" team does not have a new targeted opening date, but they are committed to getting the lifts spinning and mountain open as soon as the snow allows.
Officials said they need a solid winter storm cycle in order to safely open up for skiing and riding. They did have a couple of storms that brought snow over the past few weeks, but they have also seen some rain and warmer temperatures. As of Friday, the snow base was only a few inches.
The team is standing ready and will work quickly to open as soon as Mother Nature provides enough snow. If you have purchased day tickets or products for any dates that they are not open, you will be automatically refunded.
The Mount Ashland Office in Ashland is open Monday-Friday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. until the ski area opens -- it's closed on Christmas Day. You can purchase gift cards, stocking stuffers and parking permits or print your season pass at 693 Washington Street in Ashland.
