How this list is built

Drive times start from downtown Detroit (42.33° N, 83.05° W). Detroit has no cached road routes yet, so every time is marked ≈ and estimated from straight-line distance at 60 mph with a 1.2 road factor. Expect real drives to be longer in mountain traffic. Opening status comes from each resort's own report when it is fresh, otherwise from its announced or projected season dates. Snow is the NOHRSC 24 h analysis (Measured) and only appears while a resort is running. Data loaded Sep 27, 01:57 UTC, refreshed every 10 minutes.
