Colorado 24-25

[RachelV]

Summit County resorts are starting to open, so I thought I'd get a Colorado thread started for the 24-25 season. I generally only ski A-Basin and Keystone, but am also happy to get beers / coffee / dinner / walk dogs / etc with anyone passing through Summit County. I have an Indy pass and would also love to hit Granby Ski Ranch and Sunlight this season. I'll definitely use the Loveland days.

A-Basin on Sunday, Nov 3:


The forecast is also looking quite good (if cold, yikes) for both snow and snowmaking. Would be fun to get a faster start to the season than last year. Fingers crossed!


@marzNC also started this thread for Wolf Creek specifically:

Wolf Creek in southeast Colorado, 2024-25

Wolf Creek Ski Area (WCSA) will be the first to open in Colorado for 2024-25. WCSA benefits from snowstorms that come from more than one direction. The first storm dropped almost two feet in the last few days. They seem intent on making the most of it to celebrate 85 years since the founding...

Woo hoo!!! Let the season begin!

One of our Keystone condos is in escrow and is supposed to close on 11/22. DH wants to visit the condo before that, though I really trust our realtor and don't see the need. However, if Keystone conditions continue to improve and Mammoth remains dry, it could spark an early season trip.

Speaking of CO and Sunlight... just heard tell of the Boot Tan Fest recently, a self-proclaimed "Largest Ski and Snowboard Festival for Women and Femmes" that takes place in April at Sunlight. From what I read, it looks like a big, wild Girls Par-tay (including an annual Naked Run).

Has anyone every attended this?

That sounds like an awesome spring event.

Colorado is off to a stellar start!

Crested Butte opens today, Nov. 27. Mountain ops must be scrambling this morning since the latest storm dropped 31 inches in the last 48 hours! The Timelapse for the Pow Stake and the official Snow State were fun to view at 9am ET.

This is as good as gets, and pretty unusual for Colorado in November. Can't wait to ski some actual terrain this weekend!!

Hi from Colorado!
I mostly ski Vail and Beaver Creek and would love company!

I'm a Winter Park local and am loving the base layer we have so far. Rumor is the Mary Jane side is opening this Friday. I haven't been to Granby Ranch in winter in a really long time. I'd love to join in for a day there.

My Dec / Jan have gotten pretty chill from a ski perspective due to my dog's surgery, but I'd love to hit Granby Ranch after that. I'll hit you up or start a thread once I have a sense of when I can make it happen.
