Colorado Got Early Season Freshies and Locals Got After It

After a dismal 2017-18 winter season, where many resorts saw amounts of snow on par with the worst on record, Colorado was blessed with some early season freshies in the High Country this weekend, and powder-starved skiers and riders got after it. While mellow backcountry terrain was the option for many, Wolf Creek Ski Area beat Arapahoe Basin and Loveland to the punch by being the first to open with three lifts and 960 acres of skiing. The resort saw only 184” of snow last year.

Silverton Mountain also saw a healthy dose of powder up high, and ski patrollers made sure to sample the goods.
