Wolf Creek Ski Area in southern Colorado is opening for the weekend on Saturday, making it the first in the state and nation to open for the 2018-19 ski season. Closer to home, Arapahoe Basin and Loveland Ski Area continue to make snow as Mother Nature cooperates with much colder temperatures and several inches of natural snow over the past week.

Loveland has been making snow nonstop since Monday while also receiving several inches of natural snow. The ski area 45 minutes east of Vail on I-70 anticipates opening soon, as does A-Basin in Summit County, where crews have also been blasting snow nonstop since Monday.

Vail will open for the season on Friday, Nov. 16. Beaver Creek will be open on Wednesday, Nov. 21.

Here’s the press release from Wolf Creek:
