Are you trying to figure out how to do some early-season skiing in Colorado? You’ve come to the right place.
We’re finally into October, which means a few Colorado ski resorts have started snowmaking. So far, this has included Arapahoe Basin, Copper Mountain Resort, and Loveland. It seems like Keystone, which is aiming for a mid-October opening, will start to make snow soon.
If you’re figuring out where to shred in October and early to mid-November, the mountains that are typically open include Arapahoe Basin, Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Keystone, Loveland, and Wolf Creek.
Last week, YouTuber ShangRei Garrett posted a breakdown of what terrain and lifts you can expect to see open at Arapahoe Basin, Wolf Creek, Keystone, Copper, Keystone, and Loveland. Typically, the first ski resort to open in the state is Arapahoe Basin or Wolf Creek, with the latter depending more on natural snowfall.
ShangRei Garrett’s video breakdown is below.
