Ski and snowboard season is almost here. With the increased precipitation, some parts of the mountains have already seen a couple of inches, and we could see record breaking early openings this year. Here is a list of the dates the resorts will start allowing you to ride the chairs and make some turns.

Loveland Ski Area - Opening day not yet set**

Paul's Prediction - Oct. 11, 2013*

Arapahoe Basin - Opened Oct. 13, 2013**
