CASSIA COUNTY, Idaho — Pomerelle Mountain is officially open for business.

Over the past three weeks, a series of early-season snowstorms dropped multiple feet of snow on the ski area, allowing resort officials to open their slopes early. Pomerelle Mountain will now remain open on weekends until weekday operations commence on December 20th.
