Hidden Valley Resort to Open Slopes Friday Nov. 30


Hidden Valley, PA - With several successful days of snowmaking and the help of lake effect snows, Hidden Valley Resort will open its slopes with limited skiing 10 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 30 and 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Saturday Dec. 1 and Sunday Dec. 2.

On Friday, Continental, Bobcat and Rambler slopes along with the Learn-to-Ski Area will be open, serviced by a triple chairlift, the Bobcat and the Learn to Ski conveyors. Conditions permitting, the resort also plans to open Imperial, Cobra and Model T slopes Saturday and Sunday as well as the Blizzard quad chairlift.

“Successful snowmaking efforts combined with several inches of natural snow have set us up for a great early weekend of skiing and boarding,” Scott Bender, Hidden Valley’s vice president of operations said. “This season, we are bringing back our learn-to-ski incentive programs and very affordable stay and ski free packages so that everyone can take full advantage of Hidden Valley’s winter programs and facilities.”

Ski/board ticket prices are: Friday $20, Saturday and Sunday $25. A pre-season discount will be offered all three days on rental equipment and group lessons. Ski rental is $15/day, snowboard rental is $20/day and group lessons are $15/person.
