When will they open?
Projected opening days for the 2026-27 season, as of Oct 25, 2026. Each projection comes from a model trained on every published opening day since 1991 and the weather at that mountain so far this autumn: days cold enough to make snow, freezing degree-days, natural snowfall and recent temperatures, together with the resort's own habits, snowmaking share and elevation. The range is the model's 10th to 90th percentile; it narrows as November unfolds and the forecast is refreshed every morning.

“Resort's own target” is the date the resort has announced, via OnTheSnow. “Typical since 2010” is the median published opening day over recent seasons. Validation is leave-one-season-out over the last ten seasons; this early in autumn the model is close to each resort's own history, and it separates from it as snowmaking weather arrives.
