New ski terrain opening

"Local resorts will have plenty of terrain to offer skiers and riders for the Thanksgiving weekend"

This was the byline for an article in the Summit Daily News, November 25, 2005, written by Nicole Formosa. A summary of that article follows:

Summit County ski areas are dishing up more terrain to satisfy the appetites of skiers and snowboarders hungry for new snow this Thanksgiving weekend.

Copper Mountain will have the Super Bee Lift and Lower Andy's Encore, Lower Collage and Oh No trails open by Friday morning. The Rendezvous lift will be open Friday through Sunday to service beginner terrain.

Breckenridge Ski Resort has 1,400 acres of terrain, 20 lifts and 96 trails open between Peaks 8, 9 and 10, making it the mountain with the most available acreage in the nation.

Guests can access the newly opened terrain on several major lifts including the Falcon SuperChair, Snowflake, Peak 8 SuperConnect, the Colorado SuperChair and the Rocky Mountain SuperChair.

At Keystone, the Outback mountain's North and South bowls are scheduled to open Friday, boosting open terrain to 1,2o0 acres.

Loveland Ski Area is already 88 percent open.

All of Arapahoe Basin's beginner-level trails and most of its intermediate runs are open.
