Snowmaking Operations Begin

Snowmaking operations have started at A-Basin, Keystone, and Loveland, signaling the countdown to ski season.

Crews at Colorado's ski resorts climb the slopes at night or early in the morning to make snow. According to Keystone Resort communication manager Sarah McClear,

our snowmakers are people who are passionate about the ski and snowboard community
, and are eager to create snow and start the excitement of the ski season.

The first round of snowmaking took place from Sunday night into Monday morning, with snowmakers using digital monitors to measure wet-bulb temperature, combining air temperature and humidity levels.
