The Ten Mile range just experienced its first snowfall this week, up to 12 inches in places, and local resorts are making snow like mad. The mountains are beginning to glow with the bright white of snow and you know what that means – ski season is just around the corner! The coming snowy season is one of our favorites because it draws so many great visitors to Colorado. If you haven’t already, it’s time to get prepping for a winter getaway to the High Country. Here’s a list of a few local resort opening day info that will help you get geared up and excited for the coming season.
Keystone
To ramp up for ski season Keystone Resort is hosting the 32nd annual Wine in the Pines event this coming weekend. Wine in the Pines is a two-day extravaganza benefiting the Kelly Smith Employment Center at Ability Connection Colorado. This wonderful event was created to help people with disabilities in seeking employment and job training. Click here to learn more.

Copper Mountain
This year, opening day at Copper Mountain is an extra exciting time with Olympic Medalists and World Champion alpine skiers at the First Tracks: U.S. Alpine Ski Team Naming.
