The first snowfall of the season has brought a rush of excitement to New England ski resorts, with many eager to hit the slopes as soon as possible. The announcement of opening dates is sending ripples of joy through social media platforms, with officials and enthusiasts alike reveling in the magic of the first snow.
Sunday River, which opened its doors on November 14 last year, has yet to reveal its official opening date, but the excitement is palpable. On Saturday, the resort's Facebook page burst with news: "WE'VE GOT NATURAL SNOWFALL FOLKS!" The higher summits had reached temperatures low enough for snow to accumulate, and the anticipation of a full season ahead was building.
In New Hampshire, Bretton Woods is gearing up for its November 28 opening. Céline McArthur, the resort's Slopeside Storyteller, posted a video on Saturday that captured the essence of this first-snow moment: "A light dusting of snow is coating the summit of Mount Rosebrook and we're feeling that first-snow magic." The countdown to opening day has officially begun.
Meanwhile, in Vermont, Jay Peak is another resort experiencing the thrill of its first snowfall. The best ski resort in Vermont, as voted by Boston.com readers earlier this year, posted a photo of its snowy trail on Saturday with the message: "Welcome November." Snowmaking has officially started here, with mother nature adding her own special touch.
Stowe Mountain Resort and Killington are also getting into the swing of things. Stowe's officials announced that snowmaking had begun on Sunday, while Killington set a new record for its opening weekend by firing 175 guns across the mountain. The Beast is ready to welcome visitors as soon as possible.
These resorts have been eagerly anticipating this moment, and it's clear that New Englanders are itching to hit the slopes. Whether you're a seasoned skier or just looking for a fun winter activity, these ski resorts promise an unforgettable experience.

It's like the whole region is buzzing with excitement, and I can imagine how thrilling it must be for skiers and snowboarders to know that the slopes are finally opening up. Sunday River, Bretton Woods, Jay Peak... they're all counting down to their big days! 
My grandkids are going to have a blast at Stowe and Killington – I might even join them on the mountain myself (if I can keep up with the younger folks 
). All in all, it's great to see people coming together to enjoy this beautiful winter wonderland. 
I'm like "yaaas" for snow in October... wait no, I mean November! 
Who needs summer vibes when you can have fresh powder? This is the best part of the year, imo. Sunday River better step up their game if they wanna compete with those Vermont resorts 
. And 175 guns at Killington? No wonder it's called the Beast! 
I'm all about that snowmaking life too - who needs natural when you can make your own magic? 
snowflakes r like nature's own confetti! but seriously though, i'm getting a lil worried about the crowds tho 
i mean, brenton woods is opening on nov 28 and that's just gonna be chaotic 
and killington firing 175 guns? wooooo, bring it on! 
. And with Stowe and Killington already getting into snowmaking mode, I'm pretty sure we're in for a wild ride this season. But hey, if anyone can handle the crowds, it's these awesome resorts! They've gotta bring their A-game to make this winter one to remember 
Bretton Woods is so hyped right now, been following their page all morning and it feels like they're counting down till opening day. Stowe's got their snowmaking game on point too, 175 guns firing across the mountain? That's some next level stuff! 
. I love how everyone's counting down till opening day 
, can't wait for the powder days 
, their record-breaking snowmaking is giving me LIFE 
. And can we talk about how magical Bretton Woods looks right now? 
. Stowe's snowmaking is a must, and Killington's record-breaking opening weekend is insane 
"A light dusting of snow is coating the summit of Mount Rosebrook..." it's like you're right there with them 
. And Jay Peak's snowy trail photo? 
.
, but we know it'll be worth the wait! The anticipation is killing me... 
Can't wait to hit those slopes and experience all that magic for myself 
.
... I mean, isn't it about time?! Sunday River was like "oh look, we got snow last year, let's make a big deal out of it this year" 
. 14 Nov is so early, can't they just chill? But seriously, who doesn't love a good first snow 
. Stowe and Killington are looking fierce with their snowmaking already on 
.
all that stuff. anyways, its gonna be a sick season if u ask me 
. I swear, these resorts are more excited about their own hype than actual winter sports enthusiasts. Give me a break! 
. I'm not even a skier, but it sounds like these resorts are gonna be lit this winter
