Much to our dismay, ski areas in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic are still closed. Continuing mild temperatures stand in the way of snowmaking and natural snow alike. Mild temperatures will stick around this weekend, but looking a little further out towards the great Day of Thanks, we may finally see some snowmaking-friendly weather!
