Snowmaking operations signal the countdown to ski season

Snowmaking Operations Begin

Ski resorts in Colorado, including A-Basin, Keystone, and Loveland, have started their snowmaking operations, signaling the countdown to the ski season.

Crews at the resorts work through the night, using digital monitors to measure wet-bulb temperature, which combines air temperature and humidity levels, to create optimal snowmaking conditions.

Our snowmakers are people who are passionate about the ski and snowboard community... They'll go to South America, and they'll hike fourteeners to ski every month of the year.

According to Keystone Resort communication manager Sarah McClear, the snowmakers are enthusiastic about creating snow and starting the excitement for the ski season.
