Loveland opened Chair 2 today.  Chair 2 is only open from the bottom to the new mid-way offload point.  Our snowmakers are working hard ot get the top section of Chair 2 open.  Once we get enough snow, we'll be opening the reload point.  This year we'll have both a reload and offload at midway.

Some photos of the the Loveland Crew getting Chair 6 ready to open. Chair 6 will open sometime Tuesday November 13th. Big thanks to the Trail Maintenance, Lift Maintenance, Ski Patrol and snowmakers for getting more terrain open!

11-9-12

Snowmaking operations at Loveland Valley are still going strong. We are busy making snow on All Smiles and the Chair 7 area. Snowmaking off Chair 6 is also going well. It's just a matter of time until Roulette is open for skiing & snowboarding. As more runs open, we'll close Roulette and our snowmakers will start making more snow in preparation for the terrain park. This year Roulette will be home to the terrain park. Below is a photo of the progress on Chair 7.

Thanks to the hard work of our snowmaking team, we were able to open Lower Richard's Run this morning.  We are now offering two full top-to-bottom runs at Loveland Basin PLUS 7 park features on Lower Tempest.  The snowmakers have shifted their resources to Chair 6 and are working to get Roulette ready for your skiing and riding pleasure.  The park will live on Roulette later in the season, but it will open without features as soon as it is ready for skiing and riding.  Once more terrain opens off Chair 6 and Chair 2, the snowmakers will go back to Roulette and make more snow for the park.  Loveland Valley will open to the public on Friday, November 16th.  THINK SNOW!!

Loveland just opened Spillway for the season!  Our snowmakers are making snow on Lower Richards and Lower Tempest.  We'll be moving the terrain park to Lower Tempest for early season until we finish snowmaking off Chair 6.  Chair 6 will be the new home of the terrain park for 2012-2013.  Right now the terrain park is on Home Run.  We have 3 features set up (Tower Pole, flat box and sing rail).

10-26-12

Loveland is open and our snowmakers are still busy at work trying to get more terrain open for the public.  They are working hard to get Spillway & Lower Richards open.  Mother Nature dropped some snow this week and temps are staying low for the guns to be on 24 hours a day.  Once we get more info, we'll let you know.

Thanks to all the hard work put in by our snowmaking crew, we are excited to announce that Loveland Ski Area will open for the start of the 2012 - 2013 ski season on Tuesday, October 23rd! Our opening day run will consist of Catwalk, Mambo, and Home Run, for a combined total of nearly 1000 vertical feet. The opening day run will be from tree-to-tree with an 18 inch base. We will also have 5 terrain park features ready to go on opening day. The forecast is calling for mostly sunny skies on Tuesday, so make plans to join us as we celebrate the start of our 75th Season

10-20-12

We're on the home stretch! Snowmaking efforts are being concentrated on the lower section of Home Run, the last part of our nearly 1000 vertical foot run. With the snowguns now within view of the Basin Web Cam, an announcement isn't far off! Cool night-time temps are allowing our snowmakers plenty of time to lay down that 18" base with tree-to-tree coverage. Stay tuned as we get closer and closer to what we've all been waiting for; Opening Day 2012! Think snow!

10-19-12

Snowmaking went all night and is still going as of 8:20am.  All the snow guns have been moved towards the bottom section of the mountain (Home Run).  Our Trail Maintenance Manager is up on the hill checking out the progress.  We'll update you once he comes in the office.  Thanks for your patience.

10-18-12

Our snowmakers were able to make snow last night.  As you can see from the photo below, there's a good amount of snow to be made.  We're hoping the weather this week will allow us to know it out.  Keep checking back for updates.

10-17-12

Loveland Ski Area has been without power since midnight. The power is on and the snowmakers are ready to turn on the snow guns. Our snowmakers still have a good amount of snow to make on Home Run. Keep checking back for updates.

10-15-12

The Loveland snowmaking crew was able to make snow this weekend.  Mother Nature dropped 3-4 inches of snow to help out our snowmaking efforts.  The snowcats were out pushing the piles of snow this morning in preparation for Opening Day.  We're hoping Loveland Ski Area will open in the next week or so

10-11-12

Snowmakers are still working hard but we weren't able to make snow last night due to the warm temps. We just want to let everyone know that Loveland Ski Area will not be opening this weekend. Our snowmakers still have a good amount of snow... to make on the bottom section of the mountain. Keep your fingers crossed for cool temps and for this storm to drop some fresh snow on us!

10-10-12

Below are some shots taken from Chair 2.  Things are looking good on Catwalk & Mambo.  Still a good amount of work needs to be done on Home Run and the bottom of the mountain.

10-8-12

Snowmaking went very well this weekend at Loveland Ski Area.  Temperatures & humidity stayed low and the snow guns were running all weekend.  We're hoping the temps stay low all week so we can finish the bottom part of the mountain.  Think snow!

10-5-12

Day #2 of snowmaking went down last night!  The snowmakers were able to make snow at 2:30am.  The guns are still going (9:29am)!  Mother Nature also dropped a couple inches of snow.  Things are looking great.  It typically takes about two weeks for Loveland's snowmaking team to cover the opening day run with an 18 inch base and tree to tree coverage for the first skiers and riders of the season. Loveland started making snow on October 6th last season and opened on October 14th.

10-4-12

The Loveland Ski Area Snowmaking Crew fired up the snow guns at 2am this morning!  The weather experts are calling for a cold front to come in.  This coming week could be perfect conditions for snowmaking.  We'll keep you updated!

10-3-12

We were not able to make snow last night, but the forecast for tonight and the rest of the week looks very good. Our crew will be ready to go tonight if conditions permit, so keep your fingers crossed for cold & dry conditions!

We're having a indian summer here at Loveland Ski Area.  Due to the warm temps, our snowmakers were not able to start the snowmaking process.  We're hoping to have cooler over night temps this week.  We'll keep you posted on all weather and snowmaking updates!

9-27-12

Our countdown to snowmaking ticker hit 0:00.  Sadly the weather has been a little too warm and humid at night to fire up the snow guns.  We're hoping for better weather maybe towards the weekend (fingers crossed).  Once we hear, we'll let you know.  Thanks for being patient.

9-26-12

Temps are still too warm to make snow.  We're hoping Mother Nature sends some cooler air this way so we can crank up the snow guns.  A little snow fell last night up high and made for a beautiful morning.  Keep checking back for updates.

9-25-12

The snow is falling hard at Loveland Ski Area.  We'll keep you posted on any updates as soon as we hear.  Think snow!

Mother Nature dropped another layer of snow of Loveland Ski Area last night.  The snow guns are set up and ready to go.  Temps might be a little too warm the next couple days to start the snowmaking.  We're hoping to get going later this week!  Stay tuned!

Mother natured covered Loveland with its first snow storm of the season.  A couple inches fell on the Land of Love this morning.  They are calling for temps to go up, we're guessing snowmaking will start sometime next week.  Stay tuned.
