DILLON \u2014 Gov. Jared Polis amended an executive order Thursday night extending the closure of all downhill ski areas in Colorado through May 22.<\/p>\n

The amended order extends the governor\u2019s shutdown of all ski areas throughout the state. He originally ordered the ski areas closed in mid-March<\/a> in an attempt to mitigate the spread of the novel coronavirus.<\/p>\n

On April 25, Arapahoe Basin Ski Area Chief Operating Officer Al Henceroth wrote in a post on his blog<\/a> that the Summit County ski area at the Continental Divide was working on plans to reopen, though there was still no timeline. The Henceroth made it clear in the post that A-Basin would not be reopening soon, describing an opening of \u201cat least a few weeks away,\u201d though he remained hopeful.<\/p>\n

That was before the governor\u2019s executive order Thursday night.<\/p>\n
