2023 closing dates for Colorado’s ski resorts

Following a great year of snowpack in Colorado, resorts around the state are starting to close for the season.

Here’s a list of closing dates at ski resorts around Colorado. Note that dates are subject to change depending on conditions. These dates are based on best available data, including social media announcements, press releases, and lift ticket offerings. Before planning a trip, check with the resort website to see if their season has been shortened or extended. If the hefty snowpack ends up sticking around, some of these resorts may add days to their year. Note that it’s also important to remember that late-season skiing and snowboarding can mean encountering less coverage on the mountain. Be prepared for mud, rocks, and slush.
