Colorado Ski Resort Openings 2013 – Complete List
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.
