In addition to these options, there is usually some sort of conveyance to prevent you from trudging up and down hills.
Good snowfall provides for opening at two premier resorts
Two of the premier resorts on Colorado open today, thanks to a little help from some snowfall. Things are looking good at Keystone and Breckenridge, even though some snowmaking was required to get the resorts open as scheduled.
At Breckenridge, Peak 8 is also open for the first time in about 30 years, prompting some celebration. At Keystone, there is a new gondola, which is state of the art: the River Run gondola.
In any case, for enthusiastic skiers, the season is off to a good start.

With more snow, comes more skiers -- even with a bum economy
Many consumers are slowing down their consumption. And that includes making noises about not hitting the slopes as often this year. According to industry experts, though, these skiers may talk the talk now, but they could end up skiing anyway, Freep.com reports:
"If it snows and we have a great snow year, the impact of the economy
tends to be negligible," said Michael Berry, president of the Lakewood,
Colo.-based National Ski Areas Association. "If there are early,
significant snows, people will find a way to bring their families and
friends together to share time in the mountains."
When the skiing is good, people tend to want to take advantage of that. So it's no surprise that ski resort owners are hoping for plenty of snow -- as soon as possible.
"Even though [the airport's law-enforcement officers] were not my
employees, they had the power to act in the capacity of a sheriff's
deputy," Sheriff Zimmer explained in a letter. "I am not comfortable
with my accountability for deputies over whom I have little or no
control."
Law enforcement officers are required at airports now, according to the TSA. However, the sheriff reached an agreement with the airport that allows it operate during ski season this year. Beyond that, a more permanent solutions will have to be found.
Tomorrow marks the beginning of the ski season as Arapahoe Basin opens at 9 a.m. with a single lift. It is the earliest opening in the country, and other Colorado ski areas are expected to open soon, and there is great optimism for this year's season.
Resort vice president David Perry said this week that season pass sales
are up, bookings are healthy for most of the season and Aspen has held
on to most of its air service at a time when other resort towns are
losing seats.
Of course, airfare is still expensive, but many of the people that ski at the luxury Aspen ski resort have been less affected by the economy. And, besides, the U.S. dollar remains relatively weak, drawing tourists from abroad.
