Opening-date questions

Which ski resort opens first?
In North America the first lifts almost always turn in Colorado in October. Arapahoe Basin, Keystone and Loveland race to open a run or two on snowmaking, and Wolf Creek has opened on natural snow as early as mid-October. The table above marks who is already open and shows each resort's projected and confirmed date as it is announced.
When does Colorado ski season start?
Colorado's ski season usually starts in the second half of October, when Arapahoe Basin or Keystone opens on snowmaking, and most Colorado resorts open through November; the whole state is running by mid-December. Exact dates depend on cold nights for snowmaking and early storms, so a projection can move by a week or more — confirmed dates appear in the table the day a resort announces them.
How do opening-day alerts work?
Pick your resorts in the form below and tick “email me the morning a selected resort opens”. The morning a resort's confirmed opening date arrives, PeakCam sends one email with links to its live cams and snow report. It is free, needs no account, and the same one-click unsubscribe covers it; your fresh-snow powder alerts for those resorts keep working all season.
