The number of open ski resorts across North America triples this weekend with the opening of Colorado’s Copper Mountain and Keystone Resorts, Wild Mountain in Minnesota, Canada’s Lake Louise and California’s Boreal.

Sunshine and highs in the 40s will great skiers and riders at both Colorado resorts for opening day before a return to winter with more snow in the forecast, according to meteorologist Joel Gratz with OpenSnow.com.
“Looks like it’s a good time to be a 9-5er Monday through Friday, because this weekend will be perfect to play in the mountains with one powder day (Saturday) and one sunny day (Sunday),” Gratz posted on his blog.
