Snow Trails Opening Day, 51st Winter Season

Snow Trails Winter Resort continues to thrive, enhancing the guest experience with new improvements and superior snowmaking capabilities for its 51st season.

Mansfield, OH, December 15, 2011:  A start to the winter season will begin this Friday, December 16th for Snow Trails Winter Resort. Opening Day hours will be from 4:00pm- 9:30pm, with the Mt. Mansfield Slope, Beginner’s Area Slopes, Mt. Mansfield Triple Chairlift, and Beginner’s Double Chairlift. Additional slopes and lifts will be available to guests during Opening Weekend.
 
"The latest cold-snap, which began the week after Thanksgiving, allowed our snowmaking crew to get out and do what they love best, make snow and lot’s of it," said Nate Wolleson, Snow Trails Marketing Manager. “Our Opening Day tomorrow could not be more anticipated by our many Season Passholders and Snow Trails fans, reminiscing of the phenomenal winter weather last season," Wolleson said.

Natural snowfall builds excitement, however snowmaking is an integral part of the success at Snow Trails. The snowmaking crew built the base of snow needed for Snow Trails to groom the slopes and ready the resort for opening day. Snow Trails will offer the Mt. Mansfield Slope, Beginner’s Area slopes, to include Possum Slope and Bunny Slope, plus two chairlifts, Mt. Mansfield Triple Chairlift and Beginner’s Double Chairlift, for Opening Day. Additional Trails will be available for Opening Weekend December 17th and 18th. “Contagious ‘til 4” will be on-stage in The Snowflake Loft, beginning at 9PM on the 17th. 21 years of age and older in The Snowflake Loft after 9PM.
