Tomorrow at 9 a.m., Loveland will become the next Colorado ski area to open its slopes to skiers and riders; it follows on the heels of Wolf Creek and Arapahoe Basin. With great conditions this early in October, it's a promising sign of things to come and it's an exciting time to be a skier in Colorado.
Rob Goodell, Director of Business Operations noted, "Warm weather delayed the start of snowmaking, but cold temperatures settled in and our snowmaking crew has done a great job making up for lost time. We still have some work to do, but the mountain looks great and we will have eighteen inches of snow from tree-to-tree for skiers and riders on Friday morning."
Those who make it out will enjoy a mile long, top-to-bottom run including the Catwalk, Mambo, and Homerun trails.
