Summit County Colorado ski resorts are predicting there biggest season ever (not super shocking, they do every year) but this year they just may do it. Last year was banner as the state saw more than 12 million skier visits and this pre-season reservations are already at record levels. Here are some reasons why:
Breckenridge is building a gondola (BreckConnect- from the town parking lots to Peak 8) and is opening new terrain (Lake Chutes- 150 acres)this year and installed the highest lift in N. America last year
Arapahoe Basin was the first to open this year, is building a mid-mountain lodge (Black Mountain Lodge-8000 ftsq.) and is opening a backside next year (Montezuma Bowl- 400 acres)
Keystone is opening the top of Independence bowl (278 acres), Vail is ranked #1 by SKI magazine, Beaver Creek is opening new terrain.
Copper is hosting the US Freeskiing Open (Jan 17-21) has a new restaurant at the base and has already started making the Main Vein Superpipe (first superpipe to open in N. America last year).
Did I mention that we are coming off the best snow season in 23 years? This is going to be a great season for us, take your vacations here.
