Seven Springs prepping for ‘mid-December’ opening amid new covid restrictions | TribLIVE.com

Despite 10 inches of natural snow falling on the slopes last week, Seven Springs Mountain Resort is not quite ready to open for skiing.

“It’s too bad, but we feel we don’t have enough snow to open yet. With social distancing, we’re not comfortable opening with just two lifts and three trails … we need more available skiing terrain,” said resort marketing director Alex Moser.

Specific opening dates are not set for Seven Springs or nearby Hidden Valley — both in Somerset County — or Laurel Mountain in Westmoreland County. Moser said Seven Springs and Hidden Valley are expected to open “in mid-December.”

Snow guns were active at both of those resorts Tuesday and Wednesday.

 

Although temperatures were in the 40s Friday, they dipped back into the 30s over the weekend and the snow guns will again be activated.
