Bear Mountain opened Friday to overwhelming crowds causing 30 minute lines for chairs 7 & 9 with thin cover for the opening thanks to great snowmaking to get that far. The winter storm greeted those working Snow Summit for their opening the following day. According to management, 11,700 guests visited our resort over the weekend, blowing away projections for opening weekend – with only 2 main runs and our beginner areas operating. Thanks to the limited crew who worked this weekend – I'm sure you had to suffer through the powder!
