26 – 27 Ski Season Underway In USA

North America’s ski season has gotten underway today with Colorado’s Arapahoe Basin thought to be the first in the USA, and North America, to open for lift-accessed skiing.

It’s always a bit of a race for the kudos of being first to open, and Arapahoe basin (which often is the first) didn’t announce it was going to open today until four hours before it did.

It had though been giving increasingly clear hints that snowmaking and grooming were going well after temperatures fell again and some fresh snowfall was reported earlier this week.

Arapahoe Basin is on the Ikon Pass.  Other Colorado ski areas aiming to open as soon as they can including Loveland, Wolf Creek and Keystone, which is on the Epic Pass.

More Colorado areas, Breckenridge and Copper Mountain, plan to open at the end of next week and most others later in November.
