Pats Peak is able to open for skiing and riding thanks to the dedication of their snowmaking and grooming teams along with some natural snow in November. The Pats Peak snowmaking team will continue to make snow at every opportunity to open additional terrain as soon as possible.

The Rental Shop, Cafeteria, Sled Pub, Ski & Board Shop, Snowsports School and Guest Services will be open. For the latest updates on hours of operation and open terrain, visit the Snow Report page at www.patspeak.com.

“It’s very exciting to be able to open early for the season. We have been able to take full advantage of the colder temperatures and are happy to have had some of the natural stuff too”, said Kris Blomback, Pats Peak’s General Manager, “We are excited to kick-off the 2018-2019 winter season and plan to continue to make snow whenever we can to open more terrain as quickly as possible.”
