With all of the snow coming down pretty much all over the place (awesome!), which resorts will be next to open for the 2009-2010 season!? We thought we’d compile a list for you, so you can plan your early-season skiing and snowboarding trips.

With temperatures diving and more snow on the way, look for some resorts to open their doors earlier than expected. But of course, double check these before you head out!  They can certainly change based on what Mother Nature brings us! We’ll try to keep this updated, and if you come across any other opening dates, leave a comment and we’ll add it to the list!
