Copper Mountain is already making snow while its nearby rivals are still on hold

A-Basin, Keystone and Loveland are waiting for colder temperatures

Copper Mountain has begun making snow to prepare a race track for a U.S. Ski Team training camp set to begin in two weeks. Arapahoe Basin, Keystone and Loveland, which vie annually for honors as the first Front Range area to open in October, have not begun snowmaking yet. Copper is scheduled to open to the public on Nov. 14. (Provided by Copper Mountain)
