Mount Norquay opening and closing dates

Expected opening: November 1, 2026. Expected closing: April 18, 2027. Opening depends on enough snow at the 1680 m base, so it can move a week or two either way; with a 2450 m top station, the upper mountain usually holds out longer than the base at the end of the season. Closing tends to be pushed to Easter when it falls late.
