Wow, I don’t think I have ever heard of a winter storm watch that lasts for three days in the Midwest but those are the conditions for Upson, WI. Where is Upson you ask? To be honest I hadn’t heard of Upson either despite visiting there several times over the years. Upson is home to The Whitecap Mountains.
In what appears to be an effort to offer a better over all opening experience, Whitecap has changed their resort opening plans. They will now be opening on Wednesday, December 17th. The plans call for 4 lifts to be open, along with 17 of their 43 runs available.
I just checked out The Weather Channel and reviewed the 10 day forecast. The forecast looks about as promising as possible given that 9 out of the 10 days calls for snow. Whitecap should have no problem expanding the number of available runs in a short period of time.
