Arapahoe Basin Ski Area has seen its first “real” snow of the season with rain storms producing snow showers in areas above 10,000 feet throughout the morning on Friday, Sept. 15.
The snow comes after A-Basin and Summit’s other ski areas saw a dusting of snow on Monday, Sept. 11. The first real snowstorm of the season points to the promise of more snow on the way and the beginning of snowmaking season at A-Basin.
According to communications manager Shayna Silverman, A-Basin will begin snowmaking as soon as the ski area sees the right conditions with constantly cold temperatures. A-Basin plans to open as soon as Mother Nature allows.
Last season, A-Basin opened up on Oct. 23, earning the honor of being the first ski area to open to the public in Summit County.
