Early skiing, which started before Thanksgiving at some Colorado slopes, is gaining in popularity for skiers who want to get runs in before the crowds hit in December. Last year, 63 inches of snow fell in parts of Colorado before November 17, which meant great skiing coupled with the pre-season benefits of shorter lines, bargain lift tickets, and milder weather.

Historically, early season skiing often meant that slopes opened sporadically and featured only one or two runs with narrow strips of snow. Now, thanks to new snowmaking technology, ski resorts can create better conditions earlier in the season and open more runs before the traditional season starts. Skiers can find information about slope conditions and early openings through social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, as well as on ski resorts websites.
