It appears for the first time in years neither Arapahoe Basin Ski Area nor Loveland Ski Area will be the first Colorado ski area to open the state's ski season.

On Wednesday ”” in the wake of a massive early season storm that dumped about 12 inches of snow at Wolf Creek Ski Area's summit elevation of 11,904 feet ”” Wolf Creek announced it plans to start spinning its chairs on Saturday."

Hope it keeps snowing at Wolf Creek in Nov and Dec.  In theory, I'll go check it out in Jan with my ski buddy who lives in Albuquerque after I do a Taos Ski Week.  He's only been to Wolf Creek once and it was in poor conditions.

I bet the owner of Wolf Creek is loving all the free publicity.
