As temps begin to drop and more first snow storms are seen across North America (including one that’s currently tracking across the West), it’s time to start digging out your ski or snowboard equipment and making your ski-trip plans. For most resorts, opening day is less than a month away. To help you stay on top of your ski resort news and perhaps plan a last-minute, early-season trip, we comprised a list of opening dates at top North American resorts.
