Colorado resorts are gearing up for the winter season with the arrival of colder temperatures. Arapahoe Basin and Keystone Resort have already started their snowmaking operations, with Arapahoe Basin typically being one of the first resorts to open in the state. While there is no set opening date for these resorts yet, they are working to open as soon as possible, with past years showing that snowmaking can help get a few runs ready for an early opening.
Other Vail Resorts spots have set opening dates, including Breck on Nov. 8, Vail on Nov. 15, and Beaver Creek and Crested Butte on Nov. 27. More resorts are likely to announce the start of their snowmaking operations soon as they prepare for the winter season.
Southwest Colorado is expecting a major round of snow before the end of October, benefiting resorts like Wolf Creek. The race to be the first resort to open for the season continues with excitement building among skiers and snowboarders.
