List of Opening Dates for New England Ski Resorts

The SKI SEASON IS ALMOST HERE.

Actually, ski season is kind of already here, as many New England ski resorts are opening this month; some as early as this weekend, November 4, 2023.

Think I'm full of it? Here is Killington's announcement that the ski lifts will be spinning this Friday and Saturday:

I'm reminded every year that ski season is not December to February like I used to think when I was a kid.

As long as you are willing to drive two or three hours to get some runs in, the ski season in New England is really November to April (sometimes May, and sometimes even JUNE).

Most of the Vermont Ski reports plan to open in November. The New Hampshire resorts are always a little behind due to Mother Nature, and open in December.
