Snowmaking Update: Winter Is Taking Shape at Loveland!

/in /by

Winter is making its presence felt at Loveland Ski Area! Our snowmaking team took advantage of colder temperatures over the weekend, firing up the snowguns and making great progress as we prepare for the 2026–2027 ski and snowboard season.

Mother Nature joined the fun Monday morning, delivering 2 inches of fresh snow, adding a fresh coat of white to the mountain!

Even better, our snowguns are still running! Our snowmaking crew continues to take advantage of favorable temperatures, building our base and working toward opening day.

Our snowmaking efforts are focused on Catwalk, Mambo and Home Run, where we’re working toward providing top-to-bottom skiing and snowboarding with 1,000 vertical feet of terrain and tree-to-tree coverage.

While we haven’t announced an official opening date, we’re aiming to kick off the season sometime in late October or early November, weather and conditions permitting. Last season, Loveland opened on November 8.

Stay tuned for more snowmaking updates as we get closer to opening day. In the meantime, keep those snow dances going!

Ski season is right around the corner, and we can’t wait to welcome you back to Loveland!

Loveland Ski Area Begins Snowmaking for 2026-27 Season

/in /by

Loveland Ski Area officially began snowmaking operations for the 2026-27 ski season at 7:04 p.m. on Wednesday, October 14, taking advantage of colder temperatures to begin building a base of snow ahead of opening day.

Following the first natural snowfall of the season earlier this week, Loveland’s snowmaking team fired up the snowguns and began transforming the mountain for the return of skiers and snowboarders.

Celebrating 60 Years of Snowmaking
Small-scale snowmaking began at Loveland in 1966, and during the 1967-68 season, Loveland became the first major ski area in Colorado with snowmaking capabilities, using diesel compressors from the construction of the Eisenhower Tunnel.

Much has changed over the past six decades. Snowmaking technology has evolved, and Loveland’s snowmaking system now covers more than 240 acres of terrain. Yet the people behind the snowguns remain at the heart of the operation.

For 60 years, generations of Loveland snowmakers have worked through cold nights, early mornings, high winds, and challenging mountain conditions to prepare the slopes for skiers and snowboarders.
At Loveland, the start of snowmaking marks the beginning of the ski season. Once temperatures cooperate, crews work around the clock to prepare the mountain for opening day.

The team’s initial goal is to establish a top-to-bottom run with tree-to-tree coverage and an approximately 18-inch base of packed snow. Loveland’s high elevation and experienced snowmaking crew have helped establish a long tradition of early-season skiing and snowboarding.

Snowmaking typically continues into early to mid-December as crews expand coverage across the mountain and supplement natural snowfall.

Loveland is targeting an opening between late October and early November, weather and conditions permitting. Last season, Loveland opened on November 8.

First Snow of the Season Falls at Loveland Ski Area

/in /by

Winter made its first appearance at Loveland Ski Area Tuesday morning as the first snow of the 2026–2027 season began falling around 8:00 a.m. The early-season snowfall is a welcome sight as Loveland prepares to welcome skiers and snowboarders back to the slopes.

While the first flakes are generating excitement, Loveland’s snowmaking team remains on standby, waiting for Mother Nature to deliver the consistently cold temperatures needed to begin snowmaking operations.

This season marks Loveland Ski Area’s 60th year of snowmaking, a tradition that has helped the ski area get an early start on winter for decades. Once temperatures cooperate, Loveland’s snowmaking crew will take advantage of every opportunity to build the snow base needed for opening day.

Loveland Ski Area hopes to open for the 2026–2027 season sometime between late October and early November, weather and snowmaking conditions permitting. Last season, Loveland opened on November 8, 2025.

Known for its high elevation and extensive snowmaking capabilities, Loveland is traditionally among the first ski areas in Colorado to open each season.

With the first snowfall now in the books and snowmaking preparations underway, excitement continues to build for another season of skiing and snowboarding along the Continental Divide.

2026–2027 Season Passes and No-Restrictions 4-Paks are now on sale at www.skiloveland.com

❄️🎿 65 Years Ago Today

On September 30, 1961, Loveland opened for the season after an early-season snowstorm blanketed the mountain—marking the earliest opening day in Loveland Ski Area history!

60 Years of Snowmaking at Loveland

We’re less than 10 days away from when we historically fire up the snowguns, and this season marks a special milestone: 60 years of snowmaking at Loveland Ski Area.

Small-scale snowmaking began at Loveland in 1966, and during the 1967–68 season, Loveland became the first major ski area in Colorado with snowmaking capabilities, using diesel compressors from the construction of the Eisenhower Tunnel.

A lot has changed in 60 years. The equipment has evolved, the technology has improved, and our snowmaking system has grown—but one thing hasn’t changed: the people behind the snowguns.

For six decades, Loveland snowmakers have worked long nights, cold mornings, high winds, and countless hours to get the mountain ready for skiers and riders.

Here’s to the snowmakers who started it all, everyone who carried the torch through the years, and the crew getting ready to fire up the guns this fall.

60 years of making winter happen.
