Wolf Creek, CO - First North American Ski Area Opens on 10/22/24

[ChrisC]

Wolf Creek opens on all-natural snow after 26" new.

However, this opening shows how flat most of Wolf Creek's terrain is since it can open nearly 40% of the mountain with only 2 ft of snow—likely compacting to a base of 8-16" at most (despite claiming 18"). See RED CIRCLE.

Wolf Creek Ski Area is open for 7-day-a-week operations

I have no idea how they are going to maintain that given the warm forecast this week.

In addition I can definitely say it won't be worth the price or travel. Wolf Creek likes to open on VERY sketchy conditions. Probably will be ~6-12" max, plus tons of rocks and dirt based on past openings.
