After the latest winter storm in the west, we've updated this list of when ski areas will open. Did we miss one? Email us at ski@curbed.com
While Killington and Sunday River kicked off the 2015-16 ski season earlier this month and Loveland is poised to be the first Colorado resort to open this week, the majority of ski areas in North America won't start running until mid- to late-November — if conditions are favorable. To give skiers and riders an idea of when they should start breaking out their gear, Curbed Ski put together a list of the anticipated opening dates for some of ski country's most popular resorts.
The opening days are organized by state (except for Canada). Have a date we missed? Send us an email at ski@curbed.com.
Cold mornings. They're what we look forward to this time of year. @squawcreek @prismcam pic.twitter.com/tYYnock68y
