Ski Hills Open Across Nova Scotia
All ski hills in the province enjoyed an early season opening this weekend. Ski Martoch opened Friday, Wentworth opened Saturday, and Cape Breton’s Ben Eion and Cape Smokey also opened for business this weekend. Operators say the early snowfall and cold weather ideal for snow making have the season starting on a positive note.
