LEAD | Unseasonably warm temperatures and a lack of winter caused Terry Peak Ski Area to delay their opening by nearly two weeks, but all that changed Wednesday after a bit of man-made snow and a bit of help from Mother Nature.
Terry Peak Ski Area opened later than normal due to unseasonably warm temperatures, but two trails opened Wednesday. Terry Peak Ski Area's Marketing Director Linda Derosier said the resort is now open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in a limited capacity seven days a week.
