Passes go on sale Labor Day, I think it might open sometime at the end of October MAYBE. They are trying to start snowmaking in about 28 days. I am not 100% sure.

Yeah, they always open in october sometime. It's like the only place i ski, but i can't remember when they open. Snowmaking starts in exactky 27 days, 2 hours, and 40 something minutes. Their new and improved, and more professional looking site has a huge-ass counter front page. As much as i like skiing, i probably won't go up until they have at least 2 lifts open.

We open early to mid Oct.  A-Basin opened Friday the 13th last year and we opened the 14th....As soon as we start blowing snow, you can go to www.skiloveland.com for updates, cams and pics of the snowmaking ops.

See you on the mountain very soon!

No, you were right, loveland opens and has been opening before a-basin for numerous years, loveland just got hit harder with the heat wave, ans/or, didn't make enough snow. either way it was the first time in at least a few years that a-basin opened before loveland

What is the point of opening with a single trail? Wolf Creek had actually terrain when they opened.

A cold front will push into Colorado late Saturday and into early Sunday morning. The temperatures will drop pretty dramatically over the next 48 hours. We'll start Saturday with mostly sunny skies and see increasing cloud cover by Saturday afternoon with a slight chance of showers late Saturday night.

The average temperature this time of year is 80 degrees. On Saturday we'll see temps near average. The cool and wet weather will take hold on Sunday and Monday. Temperatures in the high country will cool into the 30s in the early morning hours. We could see the snow line drop to about 6500 feet and that could mean a light dusting of snow on Monday morning
