</div></div><div class="w-btn-wrapper align_none"><a class="w-btn us-btn-style_1 us_custom_6576d270" href="https://mtabram.aluvii.com/store/shop/categoryproducts?id=1&amp;offSet=300&amp;categoryId=1"><span class="w-btn-label">PURCHASE TICKETS</span></a></div></div></div></div></div></div></section><section class="l-section wpb_row us_custom_278d8c57 height_medium width_full"><div class="l-section-h i-cf"><div class="g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default"><div class="vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container"><div class="vc_column-inner us_custom_ca3215ff"><div class="wpb_wrapper"><div class="wpb_text_column"><div class="wpb_wrapper"><p data-start="241" data-end="263"><strong data-start="241" data-end="263">Opening Day Update &#8211; Wednesday 12/16/26</strong></p>
<p data-start="265" data-end="451">After careful consideration and close monitoring of this week’s weather, we have made the decision to shift our opening day to <strong data-start="392" data-end="417">Saturday, December 20</strong>, rather than Friday, December 19.</p>
<p data-start="453" data-end="860">Mother Nature is asking us to wait just one extra day, and while we’re eager to get the season started, this short delay allows us to present a product we can truly be proud of. With the amount of wet weather moving through the region, opening on Friday would do more harm than good to our existing snowpack and to the hard work our snowmaking and Mountain Ops teams have put in over the past several weeks.</p>
<p data-start="862" data-end="1206">Waiting until Saturday helps us preserve the snow we’ve built, protect the terrain, and deliver a better experience for everyone who comes to ski and ride with us. While we’re bummed about the timing, we are excited for a full refill of our snowmaking pond and the long-term benefits this weather will bring as we move into the heart of winter.</p>
<p data-start="1208" data-end="1452">We know changes like this can be disappointing, and we truly appreciate your understanding and patience. Our goal has always been to offer thoughtful, quality skiing and riding, and sometimes that means listening closely to the mountain itself.</p>
<p data-start="1454" data-end="1589">We can’t wait to welcome you for opening day on <strong data-start="1502" data-end="1527">Saturday, December 20</strong>, and to kick off another season of great skiing at Mt. Abram.</p>
<p data-start="1591" data-end="1633" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">Thank you for being part of our community.</p>

<p data-start="250" data-end="340">Mt. Abram will officially open for the 2025–26 winter season on <strong data-start="314" data-end="339">Saturday, December 20</strong>.</p>
<p data-start="342" data-end="530">Thanks to a stretch of cold temperatures and early snowfall, our snowmaking team has been able to make steady progress, and we’re excited to welcome skiers and riders back to the mountain.</p>
<h3 data-start="532" data-end="566">What to Expect for Opening Day</h3>
<p data-start="568" data-end="821">We’ll start the season with skiing and riding on Mainside only, with access to advanced terrain only. Beginner terrain will not be available at this time, so we encourage all guests to ski or ride within their ability and expect early season conditions.</p>
<h3 data-start="823" data-end="842">Operating Hours</h3>
<p data-start="844" data-end="908">Lifts will run from <strong data-start="864" data-end="886">9:00 am to 4:00 pm</strong>, Saturday and Sunday.</p>
<h3 data-start="910" data-end="944">Opening Weekend Ticket Special</h3>
<p data-start="946" data-end="1089">To celebrate the return to snow and acknowledge limited terrain, lift tickets will be <strong data-start="1032" data-end="1088">$25 on Saturday, December 20 and Sunday, December 21</strong>.</p>
<h3 data-start="1091" data-end="1116">Holiday Week Schedule</h3>
<p data-start="1118" data-end="1309">We’ll pause operations on Christmas Eve (December 24) and Christmas Day (December 25), then reopen on <strong data-start="1220" data-end="1243">Friday, December 26</strong> with skiing on both Mainside and Westside, conditions permitting.</p>
<p data-start="1311" data-end="1412">After that, we’ll remain open daily through <strong data-start="1355" data-end="1376">Sunday, January 4</strong> for the full holiday vacation week.</p>
<p data-start="1414" data-end="1554">We’ll continue to expand terrain as snowmaking and weather allow, and we’ll keep you posted with trail reports and updates as things evolve.</p>
<h3 data-start="1556" data-end="1589">Let’s Get This Season Started</h3>
<p data-start="1591" data-end="1740">We know how much this mountain means to all of you, and we’re grateful for your support, stoke, and patience as we bring it back to life each winter.</p>
<p data-start="1742" data-end="1807" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">Opening Day is almost here. We can’t wait to see you on the hill.</p>
