Colorado ski resorts were beat out by Sunday River in Maine to be the first ski resort to open in the US for the 2010/2011 ski season. Sunday River opened on Friday afternoon and had a couple runs open for the weekend. They’ve closed for the week so they can make more snow.
Loveland opened yesterday and was the first Colorado ski resort to open. As you can see from the video above, they actually had some natural snow instead of just icy, man made snow. They had 8 inches of fresh snow and are to get more today. OutThereColorado has more on Loveland’s opening day. A-Basin is also set to open today.
I’ll most likely be waiting until the backcountry has enough real snow before I do any skiing. I’ve only been to a ski area once in nearly 15 years. They are good for working on technique before going into the backcountry so there’s at least a chance I’ll go to a ski area again.
