Lifts began turning Thursday morning at Loveland Ski Area and Arapahoe Basin, marking the start of a Colorado ski season that Mother Nature seemed reluctant to begin.
WATCH:
An A-Basin web camera showed a long line of skiers and snowboarders waiting to ride the resort’s only open lift.
At Loveland, Nate Dogggg, a snowboarder, continued his legendary status by riding the first winter lift chair to turn in the state for the 20th consecutive year.
