After some snowfall in the mountains and some hard work in the snow-making department, Arapahoe Basin announced that they will be opening their lifts for the 2011-2012 ski season tomorrow (Thurs Oct. 13th) at 9am!

Wolf Creek won the race in the first to open this year last weekend, but that's a 6-hour drive from Fort Collins. A-basin is one of the 5 closest resorts to Fort Collins.

We are opening tomorrow, Thursday, October 13 at 9 AM. Black Mountain Express, High Noon, and the Banana Terrain Park will be open. See you there." -Al's Blog, Arapahoe Basin.com

Loveland Ski Area is sure to be close behind in getting their lifts open. This morning on their Facebook page they said, "The snow cats were busy yesterday getting the mountain ready for the 2011-2012 season. Opening Day info coming soon."

The post from A-Basin read, "A-Basin will open for the season Thursday, October 13th at 9am."

Check out the YouTube clip of the announcement below.

Hooray for the boarding season!
