Thursday evening: Breck and Copper will not open Friday

Thursday evening, Nov. 5. Only Arapahoe Basin and Keystone are the sure opens this weekend, both on limited terrain. Unofficial Networks says A-Basin has been open since Oct. 28, with Black Mountain Express and High Noon only, and Keystone has been open since Oct. 30, with about 43 acres, the River Run Gondola, and Montezuma Express to Schoolmarm.

Breckenridge and Copper delayed the Friday, Nov. 6 ski openings. No new date is posted. The Gazette quotes Breckenridge patrol director Hunter Mortensen: the resort is not ready to open Friday and wants more base. Unofficial Networks says Copper postponed Nov. 6, picked up 4 inches overnight, and has not announced a replacement date. Copper's calendar now says the ski opening is delayed. It still lists Woodward Copper Barn Bash for Nov. 6. That listing is not a ski opening, and this note does not cancel it. Snowsation is still listed for Saturday. This note does not cancel it. Check Copper.

Wolf Creek is closed until further notice. The homepage says the ski area is closed from Nov. 1 until the Archuleta County evacuation order is lifted. Freeskier says that order is still in place. Loveland still has no official opening date.
