Mt Ashland Ski Area Opens for the 2017-2018 Season

Mt. Ashland Ski Area managers made the call Thursday morning to open Southern Oregon’s premier snow-sports destination for the season. In the last 24 hours the mountain received 14 inches of new snow near the lodge bringing the snow base to 26 inches, enough snow to run both the Comer and Sonnet lifts starting Friday morning. They will call day one of the season “Day Onesie” and offer $20.00 tickets to anyone who shows up wearing a onesie (a one-piece ski outfit or costume). Season pass holders are also encouraged to join in the fun and dress up to celebrate.
