On Wednesday, Dec. 18, Breckenridge Ski Resort opened the Horseshoe T-Bar, providing access to advanced terrain. That puts Breckenridge at 1,400 acres of open terrain. Breckenridge spokeswoman Sara Lococo also said the resort is working to open the Imperial Express SuperChair and Peak 6 sometime this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve received more than 4 feet of new snow since last Monday (Dec. 9). Even with all the new snow, though, it\u2019s a great reminder that it takes a lot of preparation and hard work to open up new terrain,\u201d Lococo wrote in an email. \u201cWe\u2019re just as excited as everybody to open up new terrain and ski the high Alpine, and we\u2019ll do so as soon as patrol makes the call that it\u2019s ready.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the opening of the T-Bar, all of Horseshoe Bowl, which includes eight runs, also was opened. On Wednesday afternoon, all of the North Bowl was opened, as well.<\/p>\n

On the other end of the county, Arapahoe Basin Ski Area is getting ready to open the backside of the mountain with Montezuma Bowl. A-Basin spokeswoman Katherine Fuller reported that at 1 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 19, four new runs will open on the bowl: Northern Spy advanced run, Columbine intermediate run, Upper Larkspur intermediate run and Independence intermediate run. This means all areas of the mountain at A-Basin are open aside from the extreme hike-to and hike-out terrain.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the next several days, more and more chunks of terrain will be opened,\u201d A-Basin Chief Operating Officer Alan Henceroth wrote in his blog<\/a>.  \u201cThe groomed surfaces are superb. There will be some nooks and crannies with powder turns.\u201d<\/p>\n
