Countdown to ski opening

We just got an email from Vail Resorts (With this picture from this morning!) reminding us that opening day at Breckenridge and Keystone is just 53 days away with the lifts firing up Friday, Nov. 9. At Vail, the season gets underway Friday, Nov. 16 and Beaver Creek opens Wednesday, Nov. 21

Loveland and Arapahoe Basin are usually the first to open in mid-October. Though I try to keep the skis in the closet and keep mountain biking until after Thanksgiving, at least.
