The ski area located 21 miles west of Boulder, Colorado will open with 4 trails, and 4 lifts are scheduled to operate. The cold front that moved into the Front Range mountains of Colorado late Wednesday night brought new snow to the area and allowed for snowmaking operations to run in full-force.

Eldora will open with a 24-inch base of machine-made and packed powder snow. Hornblower and International trails on Challenge Mountain will open. Bunnyfair trail, serviced by EZ lift on Little Hawk Mountain and the Sun Kid surface lift will also be open to the public. Lifts will open at 9:00am and remain open until 4:00pm. More terrain will open as soon as weather permits.

Eldora will offer lessons, equipment rentals and food and beverage for opening and throughout the season. The Eldora Nordic Center is not open, but will open as soon as weather permits.

Early Season lift ticket prices are: $48 Adult Full-day; $22 Junior Full-day (ages 6-15); $34 Senior (ages 65-74); $8 for 5 yrs. and under and 75 yrs. and older.
