GILFORD — Gunstock Mountain Resort is slated to open the ski season on Friday, Dec. 10 and Media Relations Director Bill Quigley said crews are working on building a snow base for the big day.
Quigley said Gunstock had hoped to open this weekend but Wednesday's rain melted most of the snow near the base of the mountain. He said it looks like Sunday, Monday and Tuesday will be very good snow-making days.
He said the company has invested $1.5-million in upgrades to the snow-making system and the entrance to the area and anticipates a great year.
He said the new bridge and entrance should be completed Thursday.
"Season pass sales are up, Website visits have increased and all the indicators are good," Quigley said.
Guntock Mountain Resort makes snow on 90-percent of its alpine trails and a considerable portion of its 33 miles of cross-country trails.
He said the variety of activities offered by Gunstock, like cross-country skiing and the outlet malls — coupled with its less-than-an-hour-away commute from the southern part of the state and Boston area make it a perfect family destination.
He also said Gunstock is offering "phenomenal" deals for families and night skiing.
