The anticipation for the upcoming ski season is palpable, and for some of us, the excitement never truly stopped. We’ve been eagerly awaiting Epic’s unveiling of projected opening dates, and the day has finally come. And with summer’s unusually high temps, we’re ever more excited than usual. Leading the charge, Keystone sets the tone by securing the earliest anticipated opening date of the season—mid-October.

The stoke doesn’t stop there. Epic’s North American resorts are set to follow suit with opening dates in early Nov-Dec 1. Plans are subject to change depending on when Ullr decides to bless us with pow, so say a prayer to the snow gods for a season like last year. Winter is on its way!
