Earliest opening ever for a Canadian ski resort

[Mark]

“It feels like January.”
 
Nakiska Mountain Resort, located in Kananaskis just west of Calgary, opened for business on Oct 27.
 
A spokesperson for the company says it’s quite unusual to open this early.
 
“In fact it’s never happened before in Canada,” said Matt Mosteller. “It’s the earliest opening of a ski resort in Canada ever.”
 
“I was standing up on the mountain just a little bit ago and it’s mid-winter like,” said Mosteller.
 
“It’s incredibly amazing because it feels like January. You look around and the surrounding mountains are all white, the trees are loaded with snow — it’s just really cool.”
 
Not to be outdone, Canada Olympic Park and Norquay soon made announcements of their own early openings.
