MT. ASHLAND, Ore. -- The winter storms that passed through our area in the last week spelled good things for ski areas around our area.

According to their websites, all the major ski areas in our area are at least partially open.

Mt. Ashland will be running all of its lifts this weekend. It opens today at 9 a.m. and has twilight skiing until 9 p.m. Friday night.
