\n“We anticipate getting more advanced black diamond terrain open this weekend. Our East Ridge extreme terrain area will require another storm or two to get open, but right now it’s in some of the best shape we’ve seen this early in the season than we have in years.”
\nLifts will operate this weekend from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with an early season $45 lift ticket for adults and children. Sunlight will close again Monday through Thursday next week before opening again for a full seven-days-a-week schedule next Friday. At that time, lift tickets will be full price at $65 for adult and $45 for children, Hawks said.
\nOn Dec. 15, Sunlight hosts its annual Demo Days, featuring free photos with Santa and free ski and snowboard demos, plus opportunities to “demo” ski and snowboard instructors and snowmobile tours.
\nSunlight opened on Nov. 23 with weekend-only operations, one of the ski area’s earliest openings ever.
\n“We’ve averaged about 350 skiers and riders per day during that time and expect those numbers to swell this weekend,” Hawks said. …read more<\/a> <\/p>\n
