Would you believe that one Colorado ski slope anticipates remaining open into June 2024? Here's a look at the projected closing dates for some of your favorite Colorado ski slopes for the year 2024.
Colorado Ski Slopes Operating at 100%

Almost all dates provided here were updated during the early hours of Tuesday, February 13, 2024.
How Do They Determine The Dates?
How precisely do these sites compile the data regarding ski area closing dates? Out There Colorado reports, "These dates are based on best available data, including social media announcements, press releases, and lift ticket offerings." They add, "Before planning a trip, check with the resort website to see if their season has been shortened or extended."
Now Is The Time to Plan
How long will it be before your favorite Colorado resort closes for the 2024 Spring season? Well, several resorts, including Powderhorn, Telluride, and Wolf Creek, anticipate closing on April 7, 2024. Given today's date of February 13, 2024, those resorts will be closing in exactly 54 days. Considering many can only get away on the weekends, that leaves you with only 16 or so potential ski dates.
Don't let the 2023/2024 ski season pass you by without getting in a few trips. Although it appears most slopes in Colorado have a strong season still ahead, time sometimes manages to get away from us.
