Good Morning! This is Andy with your Opening Day snow report for Friday, December 5, 2008. We are open! The Canyons is open for the 2008-2009 winter season today. We have received 1" new snow in the past 24 hours and 4.5" in the past 2 days. Today we will be opening with 3 runs and 2 lifts on Saddleback and High Meadow. We have a mid-mountain base depth of 15", and conditions are packed powder and machine groomed snow. Our snowmakers are cranking out the machine made snow around the clock as temperatures allow to make sure your skiing and riding experience is a pleasurable one. For those of you looking to get your jib on, 3 terrain park features can be found in Painted Horse. The Groomer's Pick of the day is Kokopelli, located off of the Saddleback Express lift. Looks like there is some snow in the forecast for Monday and possibly Thursday. Thanks to our Snowmakers & Groomers (and with luck, a little help from Mother Nature), we will be expanding our open terrain soon. Weather today: Mostly sunny, with a high near 38. Southwest wind between 5 and 8 mph. The Flight of The Canyons gondola will be open from 8:45am - 4:00pm today. That's how we're going to get you up on to the mountain so you can enjoy Opening Day. Lift tickets: $49 for a full day adult and $29 for a full day junior or senior. Red Pine Lodge is open for food service and restroom facilities. Canyon Mountain Sports and One Sweet Ride snowboard shop are open in the Resort Village. And if you need your gear tuned up, take it over to Solid Edge Tuning & Repair shop & they'll have your gear running like new in no time. Open 8-5 daily.
