"Beaver Creek Resort, Colorado, announced today, November 24, that it will delay its 2025-26 season opening, citing persistent warm temperatures at the mountain's lowest elevations. In a statement posted on social media, the resort said Opening Day will be pushed back until it can guarantee "a quality experience for all skiers and riders." Thanksgiving visitors will still find a full slate of village events, including the daily 3 p.m. Cookie Time, the Beaver Creek Cookie Competition, the Tree Lighting & Ice Spectacular,"
"The delay adds further uncertainty to the men's World Cup speed races scheduled for December 4-7 on Beaver Creek's Birds of Prey course. According to Austrian newspaper Krone, the official FIS snow control-normally conducted 10 days before a downhill race-has been postponed to Monday, December 1. Under current conditions, the Austrian newspaper states, it would not be possible to hold the four planned competitions."
Beaver Creek Resort delayed its 2025–26 season opening because of persistent warm temperatures at the mountain's lowest elevations and will push Opening Day until it can guarantee a quality experience for skiers and riders. Thanksgiving village events, including daily 3 p.m. Cookie Time, the Beaver Creek Cookie Competition, Tree Lighting & Ice Spectacular, ice skating, and the Signature Holiday Market, will proceed, and guests can use a free shuttle to Vail Mountain. The postponement raises uncertainty for the December 4–7 men's World Cup speed races on the Birds of Prey course. The official FIS snow-control inspection has been postponed to December 1, and warm conditions have reduced snowmaking windows, limiting course-preparation progress and compressing the timeline to ready the track.
