This weekend, the race to see who will open their slopes first in North America begins. As a cold front moves through the Rockies this weekend, Loveland Ski Area is anticipating the first possible day of snow making in preparation for the infamous White Ribbon of Death.
That said, as of now it’s only a possibility and temperatures have to cooperate in order for snowmaking to happen on the slopes of Denver’s second closest ski resort. However, on their website the ski area is saying, “A cold front is moving this way and we’re hoping to start snowmaking operations sometime this weekend.”

Last year, Arapahoe Basin Ski and Snowboard area won the race last year by opening on October 17th and according to resort officials at A-Basin, all systems are ready to go and now they are currently waiting for mother nature to give a thumbs up and they will start making snow.
So far Loveland might get out to an early lead but according to the resort’s officials, “We’re on standby and we’ll keep you updated through the whole snowmaking process.  Get ready!”
