“We’re just one snow storm away from opening,” said Stuart Thompson, General Manger for White Pine Ski Area and Resort. “Our projected opening is as soon as snow and weather conditions allow.” White Pine had hoped to open Thanksgiving weekend, but an expected snowstorm did not materialize for our area. With Mother Nature not cooperating, the ski area is busy working on making snow on the mountain.
“We are planning to open on man-made snow next weekend,” Thompson said, referring to the weekend of December 1st. The ski area is all geared up and ready to go, just waiting now on the weather to bring the snow to get snow sports for alpine skiing and snowboarding going. “The restaurant and log cabins are open now,” Thompson said.
They will be open for lunch Thursday, Thanksgiving Day. They offer dinner on Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. “Come up for lunch on Thanksgiving,” Thompson said.
White Pine has filled their Ski Patrol Director position. They are still looking for ski patrollers and ski instructors, as well as other resort help. Please call 307-367-6606 for more information and an application.
“Get ready to go downhill,” said Marketing Director Mary Thompson. “Opening soon. Weather and snow conditions permitting.”
