A Foot of Fresh and SIA comes to Denver!

A Foot of Fresh and SIA comes to Denver!
Although we didn't get quite the snow the southern mountains did, over a foot of fresh snow fell on Loveland this past week. Slowly but surely the mountain is filling in and making for some excellent skiing and riding conditions. Most of the snowy weather has passed for now and the weather forecast for this weekend looks like mild temperatures and sunny skies; perfect skiing weather!

Loveland is also excited to welcome the Snowsports Industries America (SIA) Convention to Denver after 37 years in Las Vegas. The SIA convention features over 3,100 exhibitors and will bring an estimated 20,000 people to the Denver area through the weekend. In addition to the convention, ski areas including Loveland will be hosting apres parties to show off Denver's great nightlife and promote Colorado's amazing skiing and riding.
