ANTHONY LAKES — Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort will open for the season on Saturday, Dec. 3.
Season pass holders will get the first turns on the slopes, however, on Friday, Dec. 2, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
After a dry stretch for much of November thwarted hopes for skiing on Thanksgiving weekend, the first in a series of storms forecast this week dropped about 14 inches of snow on the slopes Sunday, Nov. 27, and Monday, Nov. 28, said Chelsea Judy, the ski area’s marketing director.
With a 34-inch base on Monday, and the prospect for quite a bit more snow before the weekend, Anthony Lakes officials decided to schedule the opening.
Although early season conditions will exist, it’s going to be “one of the better openings we’ve had in many years,” Judy said on Monday morning.
The resort, in the Elkhorn Mountains about 34 miles northwest of Baker City, will be open Saturday, Dec. 3, and Sunday, Dec. 4, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The ski area will be open the following weekend as well, on Saturday, Dec. 10, and Sunday, Dec. 11, then operate daily for Christmas break from Dec. 17 through Jan. 2, with the exception of Christmas Day.
