Breckenridge Ski Resort, which is scheduled to open Friday, Nov. 12, posted its opening day details on social media Wednesday, Nov. 10.
The ski area, which is the third to open in Summit County, will offer about 50 acres of terrain on Peak 8 with access to 4 O’Clock and Springmeier trails. The terrain will be served by the Colorado SuperChair and 5-Chair, which will open at 8:30 a.m. Friday.
Just over Vail Pass in Eagle County, Vail Mountain Chief Operating Officer Beth Howard said Wednesday that Vail also intends to open Friday as scheduled despite less-than-ideal snowmaking conditions over the past few weeks.
Vail Mountain has enjoyed only short windows of snowmaking during the run-up to the 2021-22 season, Howard said at the State of the Valley event in Edwards.
But as Howard was speaking, Vail Mountain was taking advantage of one of the few opportunities there has been for daytime snowmaking prior to Friday’s long-planned opening.
