We’re giddy for the 2019-2020 ski season. Aren’t you?
Following a stellar 2018-2019 ski season out here in Colorado, we are eager to slide on snow again—so eager that we rounded up a bunch of projected resort opening dates in order to share our stoke with you. These dates come from estimates according to resorts, news outlets, and snowpak.com.
Keep in mind: the dates listed below are estimates as of late September 2019. Each year, a sudden storm or heat wave (yuck) can alter when your favorite resorts open. Early openers can be particularly unpredictable. In 2018, nine resorts around the U.S. opened in October, and not all of them were expecting to do so. Stay tuned—and make sure your skis are ready to go!
