Loveland Ski Area, CO, Begins Countdown to Snowmaking | 29 Days to Go

Meteorological fall began today, so as the days continue to get shorter and cooler we can start dreaming of winter. Let the countdown begin!

Loveland Ski Area in Colorado, often one of the first resorts in North America to open, has started a countdown on their website until they start to make snow. Loveland’s snowmaking team typically starts making snow the last week of September in preparation for a mid-October to early-November opening. Expert local crews and professional snowmakers work around the clock to ensure Loveland is one of the first resorts to open for the season with a full top-to-bottom run covered from tree-to-tree with an 18″ base.

4 weeks until September 30th. Winter’s coming, people, it’s happening! 😉
