Keystone Resort opened this afternoon—Saturday, October 25—at 3 p.m., changing into the primary ski resort formally open in North America for the 2025-26 season.

The ski resort begins full-day operations tomorrow, October 26.
Arapahoe Basin, Colorado, is scheduled to open for snowboarding on Sunday, October 26, 2025.
In keeping with a current weblog submit from Arapahoe Basin’s president and COO, Alan Henceroth, the season will kick off at 8:30 a.m. with entry to the Black Mountain Specific. On opening day, skiers can hit Excessive Midday, an intermediate run.
“The Snowmakers had a superb session final evening,” Henceroth wrote within the weblog submit. “Three snowcats will spend the day dozing and tilling Excessive Midday. Tonight the Snowmakers will put the frosting on cake.”
“Cannot wait to see you,” he added.
The Summit Each day reported that beginning Sunday, Arapahoe Basin will probably be open seven days per week.
