With all the wintry weather we've seen recently, a local ski hill is finally set to open up.

Recently Cannonsburg ski area in Belmont shared that Kent Power had changed their on-hill light bulbs. They added that with the colder temperatures this week, they'd be running their snow guns non-stop.

Cannonsburg, which offers snow tubing and winter biking in addition to skiing, originally set its opening day for Saturday, January 20th, but also added they could open sooner - which is happening!

Cannonsburg will open Thursday, January 18 4p.m. to 9p.m.

Friday hours are 4p.m. to 9p.m. and Saturday 9a.m. to 9p.m.
