Keystone's Early Opening Kicks Off Colorado Ski Season! ⛷️
The Colorado ski season has officially begun! 🤩 Hearing the news that Keystone Resort is the first to open for the 2025-26 season was truly thrilling! I'm already excited to see what awaits us.
Hello! To all my fellow ski and winter sports enthusiasts, we have wonderful news: the 2025-26 season is here! 🥳
I was captivated by these reports. The competition among Colorado ski resorts to open the season first was particularly intriguing. Among them, the news that Keystone Resort has raised the curtain has been announced.
Colorado's First Opening, Keystone Resort!
In Keystone, Colorado, it was announced on Saturday afternoon, October 25, 2025, that Keystone Resort has opened its doors for the 2025-26 winter season. This is one day ahead of its rival, Arapahoe Basin Ski Area, which was scheduled to open the very next day. This annual opening competition between the two resorts located in Summit County is a symbol of the region's proactive snowmaking efforts and dedication to extending the ski season as long as possible, even amidst the unpredictable early winter weather.
Fastest Opening, A New Record!
Keystone Resort's opening this year has set the record for the earliest season opening in North America, which is truly remarkable! 🎉 Keystone, operated by Vail Resorts, began operations from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM (Mountain Time) on Saturday, October 25th. It's reported that over 2 miles of groomed slopes were available for enjoyment from day one. The Schoolmarm and Silver Spoon trails were accessible via the River Run Gondola and Summit Express lift.
