There were outside hopes that either Arapahoe Basin or Loveland could potentially start the lifts turning on Saturday, but unfortunately, that did not happen.

Wolf Creek, in the San Juans, remains the only Colorado resort open. Credited with the most snow in Colorado, they opened on Wednesday, October 28th, 2020.
