Friday was sunny and cold in Copper Mountain - a perfect day to open the ski resort for the 2005 ski season.
Copper Mountain became the third ski area to open this season. Arapahoe Basisn and Loveland opened last month.
Two intermediate trails, Rhapsody and Main Vein, were ready to ride. The resort opened with a 20-inch base that was both manmade and natural snow.
Copper Mountain also showcased its early season festival - Lift Off - in the resort's village. It included live music, ski and snowboard films and a demonstration center that featured the newest equipment.. The festival runs through November 13.
While light snow was expected overnight in Summit County with maybe an inch of accumulation, according to the Weather Service, there was over a foot on my deck this morning! Yes, another big snowfall. It's looking like a good winter for skiers and riders to me.
