Start Date: 11/16/2024 - End Date: 12/4/2024
Sugarbush Resort would have opened in November, but did not have enough snow. On Dec. 3, a blog post noted that the snowmaking ponds were low, leading to reduced snowmaking , which delayed the opening of the ski area. Snowmaking operations ceased on Dec. 6 as pond levels went below operating levels. The resort eventually opened on Wednesday, December 4 and had 22 trails open and one lift working. Sugarbush operators were praying for rain. Unofficial Networks (Brooklyn, N.Y.), Dec 9, 2024
