Kirkwood Mountain Resort to open Friday for 2023/24 season
Thanks to Mother Nature and a strong push from its dedicated snowmaking team, Kirkwood Mountain Resort is scheduled to open this Friday, Dec., 1 for the 2023/24 ski and snowboarding season.
Kirkwood is ready to welcome guests back with skiing and riding off of Chair 5 to kick-off the season. The resort is open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Wall Bar and Monte Wolfe’s will also be open, along with K-Bar, located at the center of Kirkwood Village, to be open Friday. Ski and Ride School has limited private lessons available for booking and will begin scheduling group lessons once terrain begins opening up beyond the early season footprint.
Parking on Friday will be first come, first served on all lots, so come early. For the weekend, the ski and snowboard area will have multiple free carpool lots near the Village.
Kirkwood's planned opening joins Heavenly Mountain Resort, which opened Nov. 21, with Northstar California following on Thanksgiving, Nov. 23. Other resorts including Mt. Rose are open for skiing and boarding.
