Better sharpen your edges and resume that winter squat regimen—Colorado’s ski season is officially on. Keystone dropped the ropes first (October 25), followed by A-Basin (October 26). Breck and Copper are next in line, each targeting November 7—though that’s subject to the whims of Ma’ Nature.

Below, we’ve rounded up projected opening dates for every major ski area in the state, from marquee destinations with snowmaking muscle to small-town hills that depend on the natural stuff. Just remember: Early-season conditions can shift faster than a Front Range forecast, so check the snow report before you point your Subaru toward I-70.
