It’s been a rough winter season for Colorado. In a state that typically sees a fair number of resorts and ski areas stay open into May, just 3 ski areas are still operating and one is set to close this upcoming weekend. Sunday, April 19th, saw the final day of operations at Aspen Mountain, Winter Park, and Breckenridge, leaving just these three areas open to skiers and snowboarders.
Arapahoe Basin – Closing date TBD
Arapahoe Basin is continuing their annual tradition of waiting until the last minute to announce a closing date (a tradition we very much support), though it doesn’t seem too likely that things will continue into June as they normally do given the conditions seen this season. The ski area currently has 11 of 147 trails open, served by 2 spinning chairlifts (Black Mountain Express and Lenawee Express).
Copper Mountain – Closing date May 3rd
The staff at Copper Mountain has fortunately decided to extend their season into early May, though it seems like extra extensions won’t be coming. The ski resort currently has a base depth of 35 inches with a total season snowfall of just 164 inches. 3 lifts are spinning, offering access to 17 of 157 trails and 232 acres of terrain. The mountain’s Sunsation festival and Skimmy Dippers Dual Pond Skim are both going down this weekend.
Loveland Ski Area – Closing April 26th
Loveland Ski Area is officially in its final week of operation for the 2025/2026 ski season, with a season snow total of 173 inches landing on the mountain throughout the winter. 4 of 10 lifts are currently open, with 41 of 94 trails available for skiers and snowboarders as of Monday, April 20th. Closing weekend will feature plenty of live music and DJs and the 25th Annual Corn Harvest Benefit Ski Party, raising money for the Colorado Avalanche Information Center.
