Resort Season Dates
The 2011-12 season started with a bang. On October 8, 2011, Wolf Creek kicked the season off with incredible powder conditions. Only one week later Arapahoe Basin and Loveland began turning chairs, making the early part of the 2011-12 season one of the best in recent memory. Below you will find a list of opening days for each of our 22 member resorts. Don’t forget to sign up for the eSnow – a vital tool for any skier or snowboarder – to view our most up-to-date snow report in your inbox each morning.
