First Ski area open for the season

Arapahoe Basin opened its lifts for the first time this season Wednesday. A-Basin is the first ski area to open in the nation for the second year in a row.

Skiiers and riders can look forward to an 18-inch base on the high noon run. There aren't any beginner slopes open right now.

Loveland Ski area is close to opening up as well. The two ski areas have a race every year to see which can open up first. Loveland just doesn't have the 18-inch base that they are looking forward to quite yet.

Lift tickets for A-Basin run about $45 for adults, but if you're looking for a season pass, they will cost anywhere from $259 for just A-Basin or $309 for the bonus pass, which includes five days at Keystone and Breckenridge, or one day at Vail/Beaver Creek.
