Here’s when every Colorado ski resort plans to open for the 2023-24 season

Opening day for Colorado ski season is drawing near. Arapahoe Basin, Keystone and Loveland are making snow, hoping to open soon, and this weekend’s cold front and snowfall could help them get there.

Last year, A-Basin was the first to open, on Oct. 23, followed by Keystone on Oct. 28, Winter Park on Oct. 31 and Loveland on Nov. 3. According to records kept by The Denver Post, Arapahoe Basin has been the first Front Range area to open in 10 of the last 12 years, usually with Loveland or Keystone close behind. Wolf Creek, in southern Colorado, was first to open in 2021.

Officials at Arapahoe Basin, Keystone, Loveland and Winter Park say they will open as soon as conditions and weather allow. The following is a list of tentative opening dates set by other Colorado resorts. All are subject to change due to conditions.
