New Ski Resort Opening Tomorrow
New Ski Resort Opening Tomorrow
Published : 20-Dec-2015 09:14
A new ski area will open in Utah in the USA tomorrow (Monday 21st December). Cherry Peak ski area, located close to the border with Idaho, is believed to be the first new ski area to open in North America since the 2008 economic crash.
It is also reported to have been planned since before that crash, and delayed opening as planned last season due to final design changes. Even for opening day one of the three triple chairlifts is not fully complete so will not open, but the other two, and a fourth lift, a 165m long carpet conveyor, will.
The ski area may have chosen a good ski season to open as there's been heavy snow in Western North America and some ski areas in Utah reported up to four feet of new snow last week, although accumulations at cherry peak seem more modest to date. However it looks like it will be snowing for opening day.
