Keystone and Copper Mountain Ski Resorts are Opening Tomorrow! It’s a November 1 opening, just as God intended. What better way to start November, ushering in the winter season? Copper Mountain has the “E” open as well: The Excelerator lift. Oh, and the Loot Lift looks interesting:
This might be the year I ski Keystone a bit too!
Eldora Ski Resort just sent me an email. Well, they emailed a lot of people, so it’s not like they’ve given me any special treatment. Yet. I have the feeling we are going to be the best of friends, and really I don’t ask for much… just soft clean snow upon which to ski. Oh, but I digress!
The road up to Eldora Ski Resort has been opened! This is record speed, considering the huge amount of flood damage in this area around Boulder.
I did end up getting season passes at Eldora for the 2013-2014 season. Their opening day is November 22, but considering it is probably snowing there right now… it could be earlier. Some quick notes:
– Since Kids 5 and under ski free, I only ended up getting season passes for my 7 year old and myself. The family pass would have been nice though: It’s a great option.
– This area of Nederland was hard hit in the recent flood. Hopefully skiing Eldora will help that community in some small way.
– With the recent Colorado flood, I was worried the road to Eldora would be closed. But it looks to be opened by mid-October. Plenty of time. And hopefully no delays due to the federal government shutdown.
– RTD actually has daily bus service to Eldora! I’m excited by that possibility, and emailed the schedule to my phone.
