After a winter with above average snowfall, the epic ski season is beginning to wind down.
Copper Mountain and Keystone resorts both ceased operations for the winter last Sunday, and Breckenridge closes next Sunday.
Arapahoe Basin hasn't yet announced a closing date.
This season handed Copper Mountain its third best snowfall season ever, and was on track to either tie or beat the resort's best-ever season in 1983-1984, when the mountain stayed open into May, said resort spokesperson Carlos Garcia.
The snow was equally as plentiful at Keystone, which had the best February for snowfall in five years, said director of mountain operations Chuck Tolton.
By mid-November, the resort had opened all three of its mountains - Dercum, North Peak and Outback - which occurred earlier in the year than anyone at the resort could recall in the past, Tolton said.
"It has been nothing short of a remarkable season - from start to finish," Tolton said. He highlighted the resort's many events as contributing to its success, beginning with 36 Hours of Keystone in November and ending over the weekend in the A-51 Terrain Park with Superpark 10, one of Snowboarder Magazine's signature events.
Colorado Ski Country USA reported record-breaking skier numbers among its 25 member resorts in the state for the first two quarters of the ski season.
