MALONE -- Titus Mountain will have its earliest opening ever with lifts spinning this Saturday at 9 a.m. The Nov. 22 opening allows skiers and riders the opportunity to hit the slopes two weeks earlier than the 2013-2014 season, which ran for 107 days.

“The conditions are phenomenal and a big thank you goes out to Mother Nature and our snowmakers for getting the mountain ready,” said Chris Monette, one of the owners of the mountain.

“Looking at the weather reports it’s getting everyone excited for what should be one of the longest ski seasons in Titus history. It’s Colorado skiing right in our backyards. Winter is certainly here.”

The hours of operation for Saturday will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. There are currently 12 trails slated to be open from beginner to advanced.

“Weather will be a factor for final trail and lift count, but you’re definitely going to get your money’s worth,” Monette continued, citing that tickets will only be $10 for an all-day ticket. The newest Terrain Park, Mo’s Stash, will also have a ribbon cutting Saturday; it is one of the few all-natural terrain parks in the east.

Conditions will be available the morning of by visiting www.TitusMountain.com and photos and videos will be available to view. Season passes are still on sale and can be purchased online or in person and have no blackout dates, including the opening day. Continued hours of operation and opening days can be found online.
