November is just around the corner and ski resorts in Colorado have still yet to open for skiing and riding. Currently it looks as though the first Colorado ski area will not open until sometime around Halloween. If that is the case, it will be the latest official kick off to the Colorado ski season in 20 years.
Here is a look back at the Colorado ski resorts that have been the first to open over the past 20 years.
