Here Are All the Opening Dates for Ski Resorts in Northern California

Winter has officially arrived in the mountains of Northern California, and ski resorts are prepping by hiring lift attendants, cleaning any obstacles that may have arose during the summer and, of course, making snow. In the midst of a global pandemic, this ski season may look different than others, but rest assured, all resorts still plan on opening.

As we’ve seen in all activities in 2020, things can change quickly during this pandemic. But for now, every ski resort has specific plans to handle this unique season. Each one will require everyone to wear face coverings to access the mountain, including in lift lines, and while loading, unloading, and riding on chairlifts and gondolas. Be sure to check each resorts policy before visiting.

As the storms continue to roll into NorCal, ski season is right around the corner. This week will see many resorts opening in the Tahoe region and one resort in the Eastern Sierra has already opened. So it’s time to knock the dust of your ski gear and get ready for another epic season on the mountain.
