Loveland Ski Area will close for the season before the end of April, tying for the earliest closing date in 45 years, resort officials said Thursday.
Loveland’s slopes will close for the season on April 26, the earliest closing day — with the exception of the pandemic closure in 2020 — since 1981, according to resort records.
The April 26 closure is contingent on snow conditions, the ski area said on social media.
“Until then, we’re still going strong with 500+ acres of terrain. There’s more great spring riding ahead, with sunshine, slushy turns and a stacked line-up of events and live music,” resort officials wrote.
Loveland is one of just a handful of Colorado ski resorts still open after the mountains saw record-low snowpack this season.
The resort averaged a May 8 closing day and 186-day season , according to the company.
Even if conditions hold on until April 26, the closing day will fall almost two weeks short of the average, making it one of the shortest seasons since the 1980s.
