Ski season is already underway at a couple resorts, including Arapahoe Basin and Loveland Ski Area in Colorado and Banff’s Mt. Norquay and Lake Louise. Many more will be opening in the next couple weeks over the Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend.
Over this past weekend, as if on perfect cue, Mother Nature opened up the skies and dropped snowfall on a laundry list of top resorts. Not only has it been snowing across the Western U.S. and Canada, but the Alps have been blanketed in white, too. Below you’ll find some photo evidence of the latest snowfall.
Winter is here. Is your ski trip booked?
