The 10 a.m. start time will give teams a little extra time to put the finishing touches on the mountain.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cOpening Day is always special at Loveland, and this year, and every year, we owe it to our people. Our snowmakers and Mountain Operations team, along with every department that helped get us ready, worked day and night to make this happen. This season also marks 60 years of snowmaking at Loveland and to honor that legacy, we\u2019re offering $60 adult day lift tickets for opening day,\u201d Rob Goodell, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Loveland Ski Area, said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>That gratitude extends to a milestone year:<\/strong> 2026\u201327 marks 60 years of snowmaking at Loveland. The ski area was one of the first major Colorado ski areas to make snow. Today the system covers more than 240 acres, and the crew began making snow for this season on October 15.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-15\" style=\"margin: 8px auto;text-align:
