The first deep turns of the 2024-25 season in Colorado were made at Silverton Mountain and Wolf Creek yesterday after a snowstorm dumped enough snow for skiing this weekend.
Staff at Silverton Mountain woke to 12″ of fresh snow at the summit and 8″ at the base area. Similar numbers were reported at Wolf Creek, with 5″ overnight and 12″ in the previous 72 hours.
“OCTOBER 19TH, 2024: Woke up to 8”+ of snow at the base area and 12”+ at the top of the lift at Silverton Mountain. Got out for some early-season product testing, and it’s safe to say we’re gearing up for an unbelievable winter.”
Snow fell at other resorts across Colorado over the weekend, covering most ski areas in white.
Snowmaking has begun at Loveland, A-Basin, Copper, and Keystone, meaning the #RaceToOpen is on.
A winter storm warning in southern Colorado predicts another 12″ of fresh snow Saturday night into Sunday.
