Vail Opens on Firday 19 November 2010

Opening days across Colorado have been nothing short of extraordinary. When Vail opens on Friday, it promises to be just as incredible. With nearly a foot of new snow over the weekend at mid-mountain and snowmaking conditions prime for lower elevations, Vail Mountain operations crews plan to open more lifts and terrain than initially anticipated with approximately 1,150 acres of skiable terrain on opening day, Friday, Nov. 19.

It’s been snowing all week and more is on its way. Powerful storms hammered Keystone, Breckenridge, Vail, Beaver Creek, Heavenly and Northstar-at-Tahoe this week – bringing up to two feet of powder in some areas. Winter storm warnings have been in effect and we are excited!

Snow Report from past few days:

  • Vail- 13 inches
  • Breckenridge- 11 inches
  • Beaver Creek- 8 inches
  • Keystone- 20 inches
  • Heavenly and Northstar-at-Tahoe also received a snowfall, motivating the crews for the winter season!
