The unseasonably warm Utah weather is keeping ski resorts from opening as planned.

Solitude, Brighton, Park City and Snowbird were all hoping to be open this weekend, but are waiting for temperatures to cool enough for snowmaking and for some natural stuff.

Park City announced late Monday that it has rescheduled its opening day from Friday to November 26.

"Park City Mountain is dedicated to providing our guests the best early-season ski and ride experience," said Park City Mountain's chief operating officer, Bill Rock. "While unseasonably warm weather has not made it possible for recent snowmaking operations, our team is ready to fire up the snow guns at every opportunity as weather gets cooler. We look forward to opening as soon as we feel we can provide our guests with good quality snow conditions."

Utah ski areas are hoping that a winter storm and colder weather expected to hit the state Wednesday night and run through Thursday will dump enough snow to give them a head start on getting their resorts open.

Between natural snow and snowmaking operations, there is hope that some resorts may be open for the busy Thanksgiving weekend.
