Mt. Ashland Announced Indefinite Delay for Opening Day
Just days before Mt. Ashland's December 13th target, it was announced that opening day would be delayed indefinitely.
An email sent to the newsroom said Mt. Ashland needs about 2.5 feet of snow on the ground and about 3 days of preparation before the mountain can open.
While Mt. Ashland does have access to 5,000 gallons of water every day and a snow gun that uses 100 gallons of water per minute, it isn't able to do any snowmaking.
The email said they have enough water in their Ski Area that they would only be able to run a snow gun for a very short amount of time per day. Not nearly enough time to make snow that would allow for them to open.
