Wolf Creek ski area will claim Colorado first-tracks honors Tuesday when it becomes the first Colorado ski area to open for the 2024-25 season.
The 85-year-old ski mountain, located at Wolf Creek pass, 250 miles from Denver in southern Colorado, received 26 inches of snow in recent days and will open 11 trails at 9 a.m. with an 18-inch settled base. Those trails represent 30% of Wolf Creek’s skiable terrain. Lift tickets are $68.
Tuesday’s opening will mark the earliest Colorado opening since 2021 when Wolf Creek opened for weekends-only skiing on Oct. 16. Arapahoe Basin opened a day later that season.
