Winter Park will open for skiing and riding Friday, tying the earliest season debut in its 87-year history. Winter Park also opened on Halloween in 2022.
Keystone was the first to open on Saturday, and Arapahoe Basin followed on Sunday. Breckenridge and Copper Mountain are scheduled to open Nov. 7. Colorado has had at least one ski area open in October every year since 1992.
Winter Park will operate from 1 to 4 p.m. on Friday. Resort officials have yet to determine how much terrain will be open.
Lifts will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, with tickets costing $69, according to the website.
From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, the Derailer Bar will feature $1 draft Coors Light beers, while supplies last. There will be some branded Coors Light giveaways as well.
