BREAKING: Breckenridge Delays Opening

Press Release: Breckenridge Ski Resort announced today that unseasonably warm weather experienced throughout the region this past month will cause a delay to the resort’s opening day, originally scheduled for Friday, November 7. The resort plans to announce a revised opening day early next week in order to provide skiers and riders as much information as possible.   

“While we have been very optimistic about snowmaking efforts for Friday, warmer temperatures this week have slowed our efforts. As with all our resorts, our top priority is to provide our guests with a superior early season product,” said Breckenridge Vice President of Mountain Operations, Gary Shimanowitz. “Breck has one of the longest ski seasons in the country, and we want to make sure the experience is fun and safe from the start.”

The resort will provide daily updates at Breckenridge.com/2014OpeningDay and will announce a revised opening early next week.
