Anyhow--hope everyone had a great summer, and I hope you are now looking forward to another great ski season! We had a really weird fall this year with a VERY early peak of color--about 2-3 weeks early. The trees on the hillsides were pretty much at peak color right after Labor Day weekend, and lost all of their leaves before the trees in the valley even started changing.
We still had some beautiful color, though:
We also had a pretty significant early season snowstorm back on Sept. 21--which allowed our ski areas to start making snow in earnest:
The best news is that ski season officially opened on October 7th, with Loveland Ski Area (www.skiloveland.com) winning the sweepstakes for this year--and also achieving their earliest opening in about 40 years. Not far behind, Arapahoe Basin opened for the season on October 9th (www.arapahoebasin.com), so we now have 2 areas open in Colorado!
As I write this, it is snowing again, and all indications are that it is going to be yet another GREAT winter up here! Plus, many of the ski areas are offering some amazing deals, so make sure to get your reservations in NOW!
THINK SNOW!
