Weather
Colorado is about to get a big boost. Loveland and Arapahoe Basin have already opened for the season. This storm might help them get more terrain open for the weekend. It may also help some other ski resorts make significant steps towards opening day. We’ll have to wait and see.
It’s November, and it’s time to snow.
