Keystone was the first to open on Saturday, and Arapahoe Basin followed on Sunday. Breckenridge and Copper Mountain are scheduled to open Nov. 7.
Winter Park will operate from 1 to 4 p.m. Friday. The resort’s news release announcing the opening did not include the amount of terrain that will be offered or a ticket window price for three hours of skiing.
Lifts will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, with tickets costing $69, according to the website.
From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, the Derailer Bar will feature $1 draft Coors Light beers, while supplies last. There will be some branded Coors Light giveaways as well.
