And the ski season has officially started on Saturday

The ski season in Colorado officially began Saturday.
It was announced not with the din of snow-making machines pasting a path of man-made snow between dirt and rocks, but the distant whoops of avalanche-control bombs. And accompanied by heaps of powder.
Saturday, 1,500 skiers and snowboarders from across the region converged on remote Wolf Creek Ski Area, four hours from Colorado Springs, for the most memorable ski season opening in recent memory.
Every year, the Interstate 70-corridor ski areas Loveland and Arapahoe Basin​ compete to make enough snow for an 18-inch base on one or two ski runs to open first. But as both were firing up snow guns for the first time Thursday, an autumn storm was dumping 3 feet of snow on Wolf Creek, in the San Juan Mountains​ of southern Colorado.
