2019 marks the earliest that Snowstar has ever starting making snow

Snowstar has started making snow for the slopes, but is doing so a little early this year.

ANDALUSIA, Illinois-  Snowstar has started making snow for the slopes, but is doing so a little early this year.

The ski hill started making snow on Tuesday, November 19, which is the earliest date in Snowstar history that they've busted out the blowers.

"We are extremely excited that we even have this possibility," said Rod Leatherman, Assistant General Manager. "We know there`s some warm weather coming, but we can make enough of it, leave it in piles. So that it lasts longer and get us into possibly opening next week but stay open. And that`s always the key. Not only to open but to stay open."

Skiers and snowboarders may start hitting the slopes on an upcoming weekend, depending on weather.
