Getting your player ready...
Fresh powder from storms late last week gave skiers and riders a nice send-off on Eldora’s last operating day of the 2020-2021 season.
RELATED:
Seven Colorado ski areas closed for the season on Sunday, capping off a season marked by coronavirus restrictions and pandemic uncertainty. After Sunday, the only areas remaining in operation will be Winter Park (closing May 9), Loveland (May 9), Breckenridge (May 31) and Arapahoe Basin (to be determined).
Those lucky few will see a bit more fresh snow this week when a snowstorm moves through Colorado on Monday.
