Kirkwood Opens for the Season

 

Thanks to efforts from snowmaking crews and help from Mother Nature, Kirkwood Mountain Resort officially began lift operations for the 2007-08 winter season on Sunday.  Kirkwood opened Chair 5 with access to intermediate and advance terrain on its Race Course run. Resort officials continue to assess operations in regards to opening additional terrain and lifts. Kirkwood’s General Manager Chip Seamans says that recent cold temperatures have enabled the resort to run snowmaking full-time and operators are keeping their fingers crossed for a little help from Mother Nature. With limited operations, lift ticket prices are also reduced with Adult tickets at $29, Juniors at $24, Seniors at $16, Child/Senior plus at $6 and Under 5 at $3. Visit Kirkwood’s web site at kirkwood.com or call the Snowphone at 877-KIRKWOOD for daily updates on resort operations.
