The ski area has recorded over 5 feet of snow during this month which is roughly double their 10-year average for November.

Newly opened terrain includes the Sunnyside Lift and corresponding trails, as well as the Pioneer Lift and all Vasquez Ridge trails.

Over 600 acres are now open for the season at Winter Park.
