The Season Snow Planner
Colorado has 34 ski areas. They do not open at the same time, they do not get the same storms, and the best week at one hill is a mediocre week at another. The Season Snow Planner puts all 34 on one calendar, so you ski the right hill in the right month, on the pass you already own.
What is inside
- A month by month read on the Colorado season, from the late October opening race to Arapahoe Basin in June.
- Every hill grouped by pass: Epic, Ikon, Indy, Power Pass, and the independent and community hills.
- Regional tables for all 34 hills with town, pass, base elevation, vertical, and season window. Announced 2026 to 27 opening targets are marked as announced; the rest are labeled typical, because that is what they are.
- A plain English guide to Colorado storm patterns: northwest flow, the southern San Juan track, and upslope storms, and which hills each one favors.
- A crowd and cost calendar: the weeks to book early, and the windows locals ski instead.
- Season worksheets to plan your trips, your storm watching, and your spring finish.
Fourteen pages, US Letter PDF, yours to keep. Elevations, towns, and pass affiliations come from the same hill database behind our free scoreboard. Snowfall patterns are described as patterns, with sources cited in the guide, because no honest planner can promise you a storm total for a Tuesday in February.
