Silver Star set to open Friday

Nov 24, 2009 CASTANET:

With the alpine base now over 100 centimetres, Silver Star Mountain Resort is set to begin the 2009/2010 alpine ski season on Friday, November 27. Over the weekend more than 40 cm of the white stuff needed to make the jump from Nordic skiing to alpine fell. "The start of the season is always exciting," says Robin Baycroft, resort services manager. "The recent snowfall over the weekend blanketed the lower elevations, which allowed us the chance to open most of the front side of the mountain." Visitors to the resort can access runs by the Comet Express, Silver Woods Express, and Silver Queen Chairs. Lift tickets will be discounted by 30 per cent for opening weekend, with an adult ticket costing $50. A lift ticket for youth/senior will be $42, and $25 for children. All children five and under are free.
