Hello Kissing Bridge Family,
The wait is over! Thanks to Mother Nature and our new and improved snowmaking capabilities, I am beyond excited to share that Kissing Bridge Resort will open early this season for a soft launch on Saturday, December 7th, and Sunday, December 8th, from 9 AM to 4 PM. This is the earliest we’ve opened in years, and it’s all thanks to the tireless efforts of our team and the enthusiasm from you, our loyal community.
Earlier this year, I stumbled across Kissing Bridge for the first time, and I was instantly captivated by the charm of this special place. From the stories I heard on that first trip—and the countless ones I’ve heard since—I realized I wasn’t alone in recognizing Kissing Bridge’s incredible potential. For 64 years, this resort has been a cornerstone of the community, a gathering place for families, and a hub of adventure.
As the new steward of Kissing Bridge, I’m deeply committed to carrying this legacy forward. Now and in the years to come, Kissing Bridge will grow into an All-Seasons Resort with a focus on four key areas:
-
Community – Building meaningful connections and fostering a sense of belonging.
-
Recreation – Expanding outdoor activities for all ages and interests.
-
Arts – Showcasing creativity and bringing culture to the forefront.
-
Wellness – Creating spaces and experiences to nurture body and mind.
This winter, we’re beginning this transformation with a focus on a few key priorities:
-
Priority #1 – Enhancing infrastructure to ensure better snowmaking and improved runs.
-
Priority #2 – Modernizing our ticketing and resort software to streamline everything from parking to ticket sales, ski school, and rentals. This will help unclog congested areas and get you skiing and boarding more quickly.
-
Priority #3 – Welcoming a talented out-of-state husband-and-wife team (plus their baby and dog!) with deep expertise in food and beverage to elevate our dining offerings. Their passion and experience will bring fresh energy and delicious options to your visits.
The team has done an amazing job implementing increased snow making capabilities from Hemlock to World of Your Own, and we’re continuing to improve our food and beverage experience along with new software offerings. While some upgrades remain in progress, we felt it was important to open early so you can enjoy the great conditions and the fantastic weather ahead this weekend.
IMPORTANT: Here’s what you need to know for the soft launch:
-
Tickets will be available at the ticket window, and pass holders will receive temporary passes as we transition to our new technology.
-
Food and beverages will be provided by select local vendors, with enhanced dining offerings launching at our Grand Reopening later this month.
-
Tickets are priced at $64 for this weekend—a tribute to our 64 years of operation since 1960.
