Vermont Ski Area Opening Dates 2026-27

Alpine ski areas with large snowmaking systems can open as soon as overnight temperatures stay cold enough to make snow. Mountains will announce their dates over the coming weeks.

Alpine ski areas with large snowmaking systems can open as soon as overnight temperatures stay cold enough to make snow. This season’s projected opening dates so far run from November 21 to December 19, and more mountains will announce over the coming weeks.

Many cross-country areas rely on natural snowfall and open once there’s enough cover to groom. Their opening days come later than the alpine areas’ and are harder to predict, so check each area's website for trail reports.

No. Every date on this page is a projection. Warm stretches or early storms can move opening day in either direction, so confirm with the ski area or check our conditions page before you head out.
