CLEAR CREEK COUNTY, Colo. — After receiving about three inches of fresh snow overnight, Loveland Ski Area Snow began making snow on Mambo and Home Run early Monday morning.
Temperatures dropped down into the low twenties and the snow guns were still firing out the flakes as of 10 a.m. Monday morning.
Snow and cold temperatures remain in the forecast for the rest of the week and snowmaking could continue around the clock into the weekend, the ski area said.

Loveland Ski Area started making snow on September 25 last season and opened on October 20.
It typically takes about two weeks for Loveland’s snowmakers to cover the opening day run from tree-to-tree with an 18-inch base.
Opening Day this season will be even more special as Loveland’s opening day run will be served by its first high-speed lift, Chet’s Dream. The new high-speed detachable quad from Leitner-Poma replaced Lift 1 and will be ready for opening day.
