The Fall Line: Goliath Brings Winter Back, Learn to Turn in January, Events to Ring in the New Year
Rooster tails are back at Jay Peak Resort this week
Golaith Brings Winter Back
Vermont resorts welcomed Winter Storm Golaith this week, which brought up to 14” of fresh snow across the state plus temperatures cold enough to resume snowmaking. The combination of natural snow and high powered snowmaking means coverage on trails that have been open are being refreshed and the amount of terrain open is expanding. Bolton Valley opened today and four additional resorts will open their doors for the season this weekend.
Middlebury College Snow Bowl and Q Burke Mountain Resort plan to open Friday, January 1 and Pico Mountain and Suicide Six Ski Area plan to open Saturday, January 2.
Next week Quechee Ski Area plans to open Friday, January 8 and Magic Mountain is planning for Saturday, January 9.
