When to visit Kreuzberg
Kreuzberg typically operates from December through March, with the most reliable conditions in January and February. The resort benefits from the Rhön's elevated plateau position, which often receives substantial snowfall when other low mountain regions struggle. The predominantly north-facing slopes maintain good snow quality throughout the season, preserving conditions after storms. The relaxed atmosphere makes it particularly appealing during weekends when larger resorts face overcrowding.

Getting there
Getting to Kreuzberg, and where to stay
Located in northern Bavaria approximately 150km east of Frankfurt and 100km from Würzburg, Kreuzberg offers an accessible mountain escape within the Rhön Biosphere Reserve. The resort sits adjacent to the historic Kreuzberg Monastery, famous for its brewery producing excellent Franciscan beers since 1731. This central location makes it easily reachable from several major cities for day trips and weekend visits. The surrounding Rhön region offers spectacular landscapes recognized by UNESCO, with excellent cross-country skiing and winter hiking complementing the downhill options.

Vail Resorts Counts the Cost of a Thin Winter as Pass Sales Slide Further
A historically poor western winter cut Vail Resorts' annual net income from $280 million to $147.5 million and skier visits by 13.4 per cent. Now 2026-27 pass units are down 12 per cent as of 18 September, worse than the 10 per cent flagged in spring. Vail blames the weather and thinks some buyers are simply waiting, and it forecasts a rebound if the snow behaves.

Arizona Snowbowl's $1 Lift Tickets Are Hard to Find, but $9 Days Are Not
Arizona Snowbowl advertised eight $1 lift ticket days this winter. Go looking and only three are showing - 10 March, 1 April and 10 April - so the rest may already have gone. The consolation is a calendar full of $9 days, including all but one day in April. Opening day is 20 November, weather permitting, and opening weekend is $19.

Whitewater Brings Its Short Side Inbounds, With Six New Runs for 2026-27
For years, Whitewater's Short Side was where you ducked a rope and hoped for the best: unmapped, ungroomed and unpatrolled. This winter it's inbounds. Six new runs of glades and fall-line skiing add 190 acres (about 77 hectares), taking the resort past 1,400 acres in total. F2 Logging spent a month in the trees to make it happen, and opening day is pencilled in for 4 December. Bonanza now needs less snow to groom, too.

September Dusting Hits Mammoth Mountain Six Weeks Before Opening Day
Mammoth got its first snow of 2026-27 on Monday 28 September - and promptly lost it by Tuesday morning. Barely an inch fell at McCoy Station, but with opening day pencilled in for Friday 13 November, it's the first sign the Sierra is waking up. Last year's date slipped from 14 November to 20 November, so nobody's booking flights on a dusting just yet. Here's where California's early openers stand.

Sölden Plans Four-Race World Cup Opener on the Rettenbach Glacier from 2027
Sölden's World Cup opener has been two giant slaloms on the Rettenbach glacier for as long as most fans can remember. From 2027/28 it could be four. Director Jack Falkner wants to add two Super-Gs, backed by a nod from Vincent Kriechmayr, and turn the opening into a full week where the ski world gathers in the Ötztal. FIS and the ÖSV are yet to sign off. This year, it's still just the two GS races on 24 and 25 October.
