Asessippi Ski Area wrapped up the holiday season with a successful stretch of extended hours, excellent snow conditions, and a memorable New Year’s Eve celebration that drew guests from across the region.
Throughout the holiday period, the resort operated late into the evenings, staying open until 7:00 pm all week before transitioning to reduced January hours. Favourable weather and consistent snowfall created
excellent conditions, with fresh inches of snow continuing to fall after New Year’s and throughout the holidays. New Year’s Eve was a standout evening at the hill. Lifts ran late until 11:45 pm, followed by the resort’s
annual Midnight Run, a long standing tradition that sees skiers and snowboarders gather at the top of the hill before riding down together to welcome the new year. The evening featured a full lineup of activities,
including late night tubing, a limited supper special, a kids movie in the Sugar Shack, and two fireworks displays, one at 9:15 pm and a second show at midnight to ring in the new year.
