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 the perfect conditions for snowmaking.
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.
The first round of snowmaking took place at Arapahoe Basin, Keystone Resort, and Loveland Ski Area, from Sunday night into Monday morning.
