Well, it's past mid-October so from a weather standpoint that normally means the first Opening Days in the Rockies should be happening soon. Of course this isn't a normal year. Good news is that so far American ski areas and resorts intend to open with adjustments to keep staff and customers safe.
Arapahoe Basin announced that their operating plan has been approved by the local health department.

Details about operations can be found at COVID-19 Operations. Opening in the COVID-19 era involves a lot work for A-Basin staff. It also involves the need for appropriate behavior by our guests. In essence, we all have to minimize our exposure to others. We need to wear our face coverings, maintain our distances and keep our groups small. At its most basic level, this is not that complicated. If we are all a little more careful and a little conscientious, we can ski and ride with minimal exposure to COVID-19 transmission. Every one of us has to do their part for us to enjoy the ski season.
Friday night Summit County issued a new public health order. The most notable impact to Arapahoe Basin is the reduction of indoor group sizes from 10 people down to 6 people from 2 different households. We will be making this change in our dining and other retail outlets.
With an excellent weekend forecast for snowmaking and natural snowfall, the outlook for opening just got a little brighter. We do not have an opening day set yet, but the outlook is definitely a little brighter.
