Snowmaking Operations Begin
Ski resorts in Colorado, including A-Basin, Keystone, and Loveland, have started their snowmaking operations, signaling the countdown to ski season.
Crews at the resorts work through the night to make snow, with a mission to create the perfect conditions for skiers and snowboarders.
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.
Snowmakers use digital monitors to measure wet-bulb temperature, which combines air temperature and humidity levels, to optimize snow production.
The first round of snowmaking took place at Arapahoe Basin, Keystone Resort, and Loveland Ski Area, from Sunday night into Monday morning.
