An earlier than expected opening for Laurentian Ski Hill.

Their official opening goes Thursday at 4 pm.

Officials say it’s all thanks to the consistent snowfall and recent cold weather, which is ideal for snowmaking.

The Hill will be open from 4 pm to 9 pm Thursday, then 10 am to 9 pm on Friday.

All three lifts will be operating with officials say there are excellent early season conditions on the slopes.

Slopestyle, most of the Terrain Park and the Beginner Hill will be open, with more runs opening as the season progresses.

Prices will be discounted at $20 for a four-hour pass and $25 for a full-day pass.

The hill will also be open on Christmas Eve until 2 pm, closed on Christmas Day, then back open on Boxing Day.
