What November feels like

November is when the whole town watches the forecast and the resorts run snowmaking whenever the temperature allows it. Thanksgiving weekend is the traditional target for opening day, and whether it happens sets the mood of the entire valley.

Expect about 8 days with something falling — rain, snow, or the sloppy mix in between. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
