Appalachian Announces New Midnight Blast Weekends

Late night skiing is back for the High Country.  For the upcoming 2009-10 ski season, Appalachian Ski Mtn. will offer nine Midnight Blast Weekends on Friday and Saturday nights from December 26 through the weekend after Presidents Day (February 20).

The usual 6 to 10 pm hours will be extended to midnight on these special weekends.  Best of all, these extended hours will be offered at no additional cost.  “With challenging economic times, people looking for a good value will discover that this is the best ticket value that we offer, at a time that is actually convenient,” said Appalachian Ski Mtn. General Manager Brad Moretz.

“As the closest ski destination to significant markets within a two hour drive, such as Charlotte, Greensboro, Winston Salem, High Point, Hickory, and Gastonia, we feel that Appalachian Ski Mtn. is in the best position to offer many skiers and riders a night option that wouldn’t otherwise be possible without a longer night session.”
 
Appalachian is the only ski area in the Southeast region to offer late-night skiing.

forgot the krispy creeme, dunkin donuts all the way, dunkin donuts sell breakfast sandwhices, great coffee, and kickbutt donuts, and lets not forget the skiing at the app is the best.

Found that projected date is Nov. 20. Hopefully the weather will allow for an earlier opening. It would be nice for App to have a longer season than most of the intermountain west resorts that have to close around last week of April because of lease with Forestry Service.

Of course it depends on the weather, but is there a projected day to open yet? Also; if the temp stays below freezing, how many hours/days will it take for those guns to produce enough snow to open?
