They don’t have their opening date set yet, but Mountain Creek is working on it, they report, with this one of the first steps of the process for a spectacular season.

There’s more than 167 acres of winter trails to ready for the season at Mountain Creek Resort, with trails across “four connected mountain peaks, offering snow sports enthusiasts 100 percent night skiing coverage and the region’s highest vertical drop.”
