The snow guns are out at one Colorado ski area

Loveland Ski Area said it's working around the clock to ensure it's among the first North American resorts to open for the season.

CLEAR CREEK COUNTY, Colo. — It might still be summer, but ski season is just around the corner.

Loveland Ski Area is already thinking about snowmaking, having brought out its snow guns Tuesday.

The Loveland Trail Maintenance crew tested its snow guns across the mountainside in preparation of the 2023-24 ski season. The resort said it hopes to start making snow Oct. 1.

The resort anticipates a late October to early November opening with a full top-to-bottom run covered from tree-to-tree and an 18-inch base. To follow the snowmaking progress, go to skiloveland.com/snowmaking.

Last year, Loveland Ski Area opened on Nov. 3. In 2021, the resort opened on Oct. 30.
