WE’RE OPENING EARLY! With an incredible 15” of snow last night, we’re excited to announce we will be opening Friday, November 1 – our earliest opening in more than two decades! Tag a friend you ride with to let them know the good news! ⛷🏂
Tom Anderson, a stalwart of our grooming crew for 20 years, took his final bow tonight. Though you likely never saw him, he’s the reason our slopes are in such fantastic shape every morning. Thanks for your years of service, Tom. Here’s to the next chapter!

Thank you to our incredible Eldora community for one last amazing weekend of skiing & riding! With over a foot of fresh snow and sunshine today, it's been an amazing last few days of operations. We can’t wait to see you all back at your home hill next season 🧡
#eldora
We are deeply saddened by the senseless tragedy that unfolded in our community today. We stand together with our friends and neighbors across the Boulder community, and we hold those affected in our thoughts and hearts.
Eldora will not open today, Thursday, March 12, due to high winds, power outages, and safety concerns. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for understanding. It may be windy, but the sunrise sure was beautiful. Groomer Scott B shot this from his 'cat earlier today🌄.
Parking update: We have plenty of parking. We will probably have plenty of parking for the rest of the season, so no need to ask about parking today or tomorrow and beyond. If anything changes, we'll let you know. Cheers!
❄️SNOWMAKING HAS BEGUN❄️ Mother Nature treated us to 4" of fresh snow overnight and perfect temps to fire up the snow guns—who's excited for opening day?!
For those asking about reinstating parking reservations, that was a response to the need to reduce visitation due to COVID. The majority of feedback we received about it was that people did not like it. That said, we are taking your recent feedback into consideration. Thanks!
The mountain is looking beautiful today after another October cold blast. Our snowmaking crew will be pumping out snow in no time—mark your calendars because Opening Day is only 43 days away! Who's ready!?!?

Greetings from above the clouds! Get out of the gloom and come on up for a few Tuesday turns at your backyard mountain. See ya soon?

Contrary to what the lighted sign says at the base of Boulder Canyon, it is currently quite calm and pleasant at Eldora. Dry, light powder continues to fall and smiles abound! See ya soon for some Sunday fun?

Shout out to Austin Messaros of our lift maintenance team for capturing this incredible sunrise shot! Prepping our lifts early in the morning definitely has some perks you may not immediately think about. 🌄

3:46 update – Thanks for everything today. A very busy day, for certain, but we saw a lot of smiles and good cheer and got a lot of useful feedback. Hopefully we see a few of you tomorrow, on what promises to be a quiet Monday. Cheers, and have a nice evening.

We’re excited to announce that all lifts are currently running—including the iconic Corona chair. Why not take a few morning laps down the backside and grab lunch at The Lookout? Or maybe bring the kids up for some family fun on the Tenderfoot Magic Carpet or Little Hawk lift?
9" in 24hrs and 7" on the stake! Gonna be a great day, weekend, and Thanksgiving break, with more terrain opening on the daily!

Powderhorn trail, Thu 3/9/23. Springtime is the best time at Eldora: fresh snow, fewer people, less traffic, sunshine, and good vibes. Don’t miss out! 📷: Tom Eddy, Eldora Patrol Director

8:49 Update - Traffic backed up on Shelf Road. Road snowpacked and slippery. Lots filling fast. Again, if you have not left home, today is not the day to come to Eldora. You will be stuck in traffic on the way and will likely be turned away. Sorry for the harsh vibes!
That storm everyone's been talking about? It has arrived, ladies and gentlemen. With 23” of fresh snow and a bit more on the way, the mountain couldn’t be in better shape 🌨
#eldora
Our hearts go out to all of those impacted by the devastating fires in Boulder County, including many of our own staff and guests. We are immensely grateful to the first responders, firefighters, law enforcement, and everyone else lending help during this unexpected tragedy.
We apologize to those of you who were turned around today because our lots filled completely. We know it’s frustrating, and we do our best to let guests in as soon as we’re able. On these powder-frenzy days, the best bet is to arrive by 7 or after 1. Thank you for understanding.
Snowmaking is underway! We're officially one month out from our Opening Day on Nov. 23! It's starting to look a lot more like winter at your home hill. Anyone else counting down the days until we

Grab your snorkel and bring your gnarly boots - it’s a full-on POWDER DAY! The mountain received 13” of new snow in the last 24 hours and it’s still snowing! Drive safely this morning and make sure to fill your car with three+ to take advantage of our Carpool Priority Parking.
What an AMAZING opening weekend! It took a ton of hard work from every one of our employees to open as early as we did. We appreciate all the time and effort they put it, thanks everyone! 🥳

With 8” in 24hrs and 1-3” more forecasted today, it’s a winter wonderland on this penultimate day of the season. Don’t miss these final sweet moments.

Now that we've tucked the mountain in for a long summer's nap, we wanted to take a moment to thank all of our incredible employees for their hard work during this unique 2020/21 season. We’re honored to have such a great team here at Eldora 🧡
#eldora
Another gorgeous and empty weekday, and a fabulous opportunity to get an hour or two of rejuvenating slope time in before the weekend hits. See you soon!

SNOW UPDATE: With last night's snowfall, we officially passed the 100" mark! As of today, snowpack is currently sitting at 119% of average. C'mon up for a mid-winter rip!

Gorgeous and warm Saturday morning, with plenty of parking, no traffic, and more than 5 feet of deep, fresh, dry sunshine since dawn today. C’mon up for a few laps!

9” on the stake since 4:30 PM yesterday, 11” total in 24hrs, and still coming down hard as of 5:40 AM! It’s going to be a great day. Travel safely and we’ll see you on the hill!

A stunning Monday Funday is unfolding here at your home hill. Sunshine, not a breath of wind, parking for miles, barely a soul in sight, and 27” over the past few days. You’ve got 1hr to beat the 10-2 Boulder Canyon closure, or just avoid it by taking Lefthand or Coal Creek.
We had a fantastic Opening Day today full of good vibes, great snow, and big smiles (behind masks, of course). Another 8" of fresh snow is on deck for the next twelve hours! Tomorrow we expect to open our Caribou lift and our Ryder's trail (without park features).
#eldora
Its like being inside a snow globe up here today. Flakes wafting peacefully down, no wind, FRESH POW, zero traffic, oodles of parking, and very few people. What are you waiting for?
#cowx
Amazing Wednesday, with temps in the 30s, barely a soul, and fresh snow. What could be better? Ditch your afternoon plans and come rip a few laps at the home hill!

NEW: Free shuttles from the Boulder County Justice Center to Eldora and back, starting tomorrow! Departure times are staggered with RTD NB departures, for which we also offer FREE bus tickets: 7:30 AM, 9:10 AM, 11:10 AM. Hop on board! DETAILS —> .
That was fast! On what was originally slated as opening weekend, every lift on the mountain, except one, is NOW OPEN for the 18-19 SEASON—and it's currently DUMPING AGAIN! C'MON UP!

"VERY DEEP." That's how ski patrol describes conditions in West Ridge, Salto, and Moose Glades this morning, after yesterday's closure and more than 20" in three days. Drop what you're doing and get on up here!

Due to wind damage to our electrical system, we are unable to run any chairlifts and recommend that you do not come to Eldora today. We will update you if anything changes. Sorry, and thanks for your understanding.
It’s beginning to look a lot like...winter! 7” of snow overnight and a whopping 11” so far this week. C’mon up this weekend to pick up your Eldora season pass, get fitted for and pickup your season rentals, and grab great deals on gear, apparel, and accessories!
