Another weekend in December and the lifts at another local ski resort have started spinning.

Apex Mountain Resort, located about 35 kilometres west of Penticton, officially opened Saturday morning with a base of 69 centimetres.

The temperature on the mountain currently sits at -2 C, with overcast conditions.

The opening comes nine days after the opening of Big White and SilverStar, and a week after Revelstoke opened.

Big White currently boasts a 57 cm base, while SilverStar has a 96 cm base. Revelstoke has seen significant early season snowfall though, with 66 cm falling in just the past week alone, bringing its base to 125 cm.

Meanwhile, Mount Baldy near Oliver is set to open Dec. 20.
