The Race to Open – Northeast edition – returns with a new format; brackets by each northeast state! That’s right, 48 ski areas are included in this year’s Race to Open Northeast Bracket Challenge. It is hard not to get excited about the upcoming season with multiple snow events in October [just don’t look at the early November forecast. Yuck!] Still, ski areas across the northeast are testing snow guns, selling discounted lift tickets and lodging, posting opening dates and of course, two even opened! And I thought the only back-to-back champions are the UConn Huskies?! [Nope says Ski Ward, MA]. I also offer my apologies to the two northeast ski areas that opened pretty darn early last year, but whose bubbles burst on inclusion in this year’s bracket. As a peace offering, a bonus trivia question is meant to highlight them. Okay Pow Hounds, let’s find out which lifts are likely to spin next.
