Opening Day will be this Saturday December 18th!

Kitchener, December 14th, 2010 –  Chicopee Ski Club is pleased to announce it will be opening for the 2010-2011 ski season this Saturday December 18th.  The Ski Club starting making snow early in December when the required temperatures hit -4 degrees celcius for well over a week which helped set the base of now over 30 cm.  The snow has been falling since that time, so in combination with our ongoing snow-making, Chicopee is happy to announce the slopes are ready for skiers and snowboarders!  The entire front of hill will be open which includes 8 runs and 4 lifts.  Hours of operation are 8:30 a.m. – 9:30 p.m. every day starting Saturday except on Sundays which is 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.  Please note we will not be open on Christmas Day.
 
To get the season rolling, Chicopee is offering lift tickets at half price ($20) starting on Saturday and running until December 24th.  We also hear that Santa’s sleigh will be making a special stop this weekend at the hill…so watch for him on the slopes!  Also feel free to check out our webcam visuals posted on our website to see the great hill conditions first hand!

And if you’re looking for activities for the kids before or during the holidays, our Christmas camps start the week of December 20th and continue through to the New Year.  All programs, lessons and events are listed on our website at http://www.discoverchicopee.com and you can register online today.

We also have gift certificates available for Christmas gift-giving and our new LIFT OFF package with 15 tickets at $180 in savings.  Chicopee would also like to remind the public about its New Year’s Eve Celebration with skiing, snowboarding, fireworks show, appetizers, entertainment and Kids Are Free with every adult admission.
