Here’s when every Colorado ski area plans to close for the season

 #colorado #breckenridge #realestate

It’s been an outstanding snow year for Colorado ski resorts. Most are boasting above-average base depths as of March 16, with a dozen sitting at 25% above normal or better and three — Powderhorn, Purgatory and Sunlight — at better than 50% above average.

That means spring skiing this year could be outstanding. Some resorts already have extended their projected closing dates, and others may soon follow. Here’s a list of the most current projected closing dates:

May 7: Copper Mountain, Loveland

Other closures are to be determined. Breckenridge and Mary Jane plan to stay open into May, as long there is adequate snow. Purgatory remains open on weekends through April and possibly into May. Arapahoe Basin hopes to stay open into early June.

Closed: Aspen Highlands, Aspen Mountain, Beaver Creek, Bluebird Backcountry, Buttermilk, Cooper, Crested Butte, Echo Mountain, Eldora, Granby Ranch, Hesperus, Howelsen Hill, Keystone, Monarch, Powderhorn, Silverton, Snowmass, Steamboat, Sunlight, Telluride, Vail, Winter Park, Wolf Creek.
