As sad as it sounds, we have to start thinking about closing dates of our beloved Colorado ski resorts. Despite record snowfall amounts, the time is fast approaching to bid adieu to skiing and riding at many of our favorite areas.
Thankfully, many of the resorts have extended their seasons by at least a week, and some are offering additional weekend skiing through the end of April. A handful will continue operation into May and June including Loveland, Arapahoe Basin and Breckenridge.
Over the next four weeks, you’ll find base snow amounts over 70 inches, perfect for spring skiing. Many of the ski areas are offering end-of-the-season specials, live music and fun-filled activities. Check out your favorite destinations and enjoy great skiing and boarding while you can.
