With temperatures fluctuating up into the double digits and frequent rain showers, it has definitely been a challenge for any resort to provide a reliable answer to the question "When is opening day?"; however, with temperatures dropping again this weekend, Brimacombe is planning on cranking up the white noise (aka. starting back up the snowmaking guns).
We're setting our sights on opening on either Wednesday, December 21, 2012 or Saturday, December 24, 2012 (weather and snow conditions permitting, of course).
What runs will be open on opening day?
We're not sure quite yet, but we will be sure to keep you updated. Stay tuned to the Blog, Facebook, Twitter and the Brimacombe website for updates!
SNOW, So Far This Season:
- Mother Nature sent us a good dusting of white stuff on December 8, 2012
- We began making snow on Friday, December 9 at 10:00 p.m. and continued until Sunday, when temperatures began to rise
- Unfortunately, warm temperatures and rain caused the natural stuff to melt over this past week, but thanks to the hard work and insight of the Brimacombe team, our man-made piles, while smaller, are still dotting the hills
See the snow for yourself by viewing our webcams - This weekend, Brimacombe will once again turn on the snow guns and crank up the white noise, as temperatures drop to a predicted high of -4 C on Saturday and a low of -7 C over the entire weekend.
See you on the slopes soon!
