Loveland Ski Area will open for the season on Thursday.
The Clear Creek County ski area announced the news on Monday following weeks of unseasonably warm and dry weather that had made snowmaking at resorts across the state difficult to impossible.
The news you've all been waiting for. Get those skis & snowboards ready. We will open for the 16/17 season on Thursday, November 10.

“The news you’ve all been waiting for,” Loveland said in a tweet. “Get those skis & snowboards ready.”
Also on Monday, Copper Mountain announced it was pushing opening day from Nov. 11 to Nov. 18.
Keystone Resort announced last week that it was from Nov. 4 to a tentative Nov. 11 because of the heat.
Wolf Creek Ski Area also delayed its opening.
Loveland began making snow on Oct. 3 but the hot weather made it tough for the ski area’s snowmakers to get their first run open.
While Arapahoe Basin , other resorts have been waiting for Mother Nature to begin her winter temperament.
