Colorado Ski Resort To Open Two Weeks Early
The pre-season -- no, early-season -- stoke train keeps rolling forward as the days whizz by.
The latest? Well, by the time you're reading this, it'll be about to happen (or already have happened!), but Eldora Mountain Resort, Colorado, announced this week -- on November 1st -- that they plan to open two weeks early on Friday, November 3rd. That's today. Get pumped.
Here's the rundown of what Eldora will have available for the first day of the season.
From the caption:
"Beginning Friday, Alpenglow chair will spin 9:00–4:00, seven days a week, during early-season operations, weather and conditions permitting.
❄A full 1,000 vertical feet of terrain will be open, including Hornblower, Klondike, and International trails, plus a small terrain park offering near West Wing Lodge.
❄No beginner terrain, lessons, uphill access, or Nordic/snowshoe trails will be open yet, but everyone is welcome to join the fun in the base area.
❄ We'll have fresh-baked muffins for the first guests in line, live tunes from Godlazer, and those down-home feel-good Eldora vibes you've been missing since last winter!
❄Eldora Pass holders who reloaded their Eldora Cards from last season can head straight to the lift. Otherwise, pick up your pass at the automated Pick-Up Box at Indian Peaks Lodge using the QR code in your confirmation email. Hot tip: make sure you've uploaded a photo and signed your waiver to avoid being stalled at the RFID gate.
❄Ikon Pass holders can go straight to the lift; if you haven't received your pass in the mail, we can print it for you at Indian Peaks Lodge."
I'd say more, but Eldora has it covered with their thorough announcement.
For those unfamiliar, Eldora is a small ski resort 20 miles west of Boulder, Colorado, making it a popular choice for students at the university in town who don't want to trek out to A-Basin or Keystone while doing battle with the ever-fearsome I-70.
Anyways. Go skiing if you can. Do it for all of us waiting patiently for their local resorts to kick into gear.
