Eldora, the backyard winter playground for Boulder, Denver, and Colorado’s northern Front Range, opened seven days early for downhill skiing and snowboarding, on Friday, November 11. One run was open, the Hornblower to International top-to-bottom blue run, served by the Alpenglow six-person chair. A small terrain park also opened in the base area. No beginner terrain is available.

“Thanks to the hard work of our employees, we’re opening a full week ahead of schedule for our 60th anniversary season,” says Brent Tregaskis, Eldora’s president and general manager. “We’re so proud to have served as the local community’s hub for winter adventure for the past six decades, and we can’t wait to welcome our guests back for another season.

Just 20 miles west of Boulder and less than 50 from Denver, Eldora is the closest Ikon Pass destination to the Denver metro region, offering unlimited access on the Ikon Pass and free transportation from downtown Boulder on weekends. Eldora is part of the POWDR Adventure Lifestyle portfolio.
