The first ski resorts in Colorado have begun opening after a couple days of fresh snowfall.

Loveland ski area was the first ski resort to open in 2009 to a line of excited skiers and snowboarders.  Loveland is one of the world’s highest in elevation ski areas.  Its opening on Wednesday is the earliest opening in 40 years!

Loveland’s neighbor, Arapahoe Basin is planning to open late this week or early next week.  Arapahoe Basin is famous for it’s late season skiing, sometime the season extends into May and June!  I personally got to ski Arapahoe Basin a few years ago and it is definitely one of the most unique skiing experiences I have ever had and will never forget.

The resorts have been primarily making snow and their efforts have been extremely successful due to consistently low temperatures.  There is also plenty of natural snowfall as well.  Of the major resorts, Copper Mountain is likely to be the first one to open.

Here is to a great season of snow!!
