Loveland Ski Area Fires Up Snow Guns for the 2025–2026 Season

/in /by

Winter has arrived at Loveland Ski Area! Around midnight on October 13, 2025, Loveland’s snowmaking team fired up the snow guns for the first time this season, officially kicking off snowmaking operations for the 2025–2026 season.

Loveland is ahead of schedule compared to last year, when snowmaking began on October 18, 2024. With cold temperatures overnight, the snowmaking crew took full advantage of ideal conditions to begin building the base for Opening Day.

Loveland traditionally opens in late October to early November, depending on weather and snowmaking progress. Last season, the ski area opened on November 9, 2024, and hopes to welcome skiers and snowboarders even earlier this fall.

Please note that Uphill Access is now CLOSED while snowmaking operations are underway. Uphill Access will reopen in December once snowmaking is complete and early-season conditions allow.

Uphill Access Passes will also go on sale in December.
