While temperatures have now warmed up significantly, the end of October brought a significant winter storm to the central and northern mountains in Colorado, allowing several ski resorts to open early and providing great snow making conditions. Keystone and A-Basin opened earlier this week, with Winter Park and Eldora on track to open Friday.

If you're an early season fiend that hits the slopes as early as possible, the forecast is looking dry at all of the resorts, with temperatures in the 30s to 40s. It'll be a bit breezy Friday and Sunday at Winter Park, but only on Sunday at Eldora. For Keystone which has 18" of snow at the base, Friday is breezy and Sunday is not. For A-Basin, Sunday is breezy but Friday is not. Everyone looks dry though through Tuesday, when we see our next chance for mountain snow.
