The Centennial State woke up to a fresh blanket of October snow this morning, and we think it’s safe to say it was welcomed with open arms. From Aspen to Loveland to Copper to Crested Butte and everywhere in between, the white stuff has arrived and ski season will be here in no time. (Rumor has it that Loveland and A-Basin will be open within the next couple of weeks.)

Social media evidence

We can't think of a BETTER way to kick off #themeeting12 ❄️❄️❄️ #wewokeuplikethis (????: @jswansonphoto )
