Blue Mountain Resort, Pennsylvania, shared its planned opening date yesterday, October 5th.

The resort plans to open on November 24th, weather and conditions permitting.

Blue Mountain, and its Poconos neighbor, Camelback Mountain, were added to Alterra Mountain Company's Ikon Pass earlier this fall. It's still too early to say what this development will mean for Blue Mountain and Camelback.

Blue Mountain is one of the largest resorts in Pennsylvania and offers the state's only downhill lift-serviced bike park. Plus, it boasts extensive snowmaking and roughly 1,000 feet of vert -- that's dang good for Pennsylvania.

As for the weather at Blue Mountain, temperatures are starting to dip towards freezing at night, so it's only a matter of time before the resort fires up the snow guns. Think cold!
