First Turns of 23-24 in the USA
Published : 04-Oct-2023 07:14
Two US ski areas have reported ski tracks from the first descents of Fall 2023 as the race commence to be the first North American ski area to open for 23-24.
Tracks were spotted at Mammoth Mountain on Monday (above), where a thin cover of fresh snow was lying on snow left from the 22-23 season, which only ended there less than two months ago.
Then Colorado's Silverton ski area reported its first descents being made by ski patrollers at the area, an annual perk (below).
The ski descents were recorded as snowfall continued in western North America with Alta in Utah noting its first top to bottom snow cover at the weekend.
Several resorts posted pictures of fresh snow lying around trees in full fall colours.
Meanwhile ski areas are competing to be the first in the US to open, with Loveland in Colorado firing up its snowmaking systems to begin building a base ahead of hopefully opening later this month.
