It’s official: Summit County’s mountains are open for ski season. Copper Mountain Resort hosted the final opening day in the county yesterday, Nov. 22.
Colin Thomas stood at the Alpine Lot waiting for a shuttle bright and early on opening day. Thomas had driven up from Denver — where it has yet to snow — for his second opening day of the season after Winter Park’s opening last week.
“I haven’t been able to ride the last two years because I got shoulder surgery done, so I was finally able to come back out and ride,” Thomas said.
