Beaver Creek will have its Centennial Express Lift (#6), Cinch Express Left (#8), Buckaroo Gondola; Drink of Water (#5); Bachelor Gulch Express (#16), and Strawberry Park Express (#12) lifts open, plus five surface lifts for beginner skiers.
It's also opening day today at Crested Butte, Monarch, and Steamboat, and Vail is opening up its Riva Bahn Express Lift (#6) and Gopher Hill Lift (#12) in Golden Peak; the Cascade Village Lift (#20) and the Sourdough Express Lift (#14), and China Bowl and Tea Cup Bowl, served by the Orient Express Lift (#21) and Tea Cup Express Lift (#36).
"We always have a lot to be thankful for in Vail, but having virtually the entire front side plus Sun Up, China and Tea Cup bowls and 2,700 acres of terrain open before Thanksgiving provides us with an overabundance of reasons to give thanks this year," reports Vail Mountain COO Chris Jarnot.
And, if you need even more to be thankful for, Purgatory, Snowmass, Telluride, and Ski Cooper open tomorrow. Happy Thanksgiving!
