Loveland
Family-owned since 1937. Highest base elevation in Colorado, the snowiest stretch of I-70, and zero pretense — Loveland is what skiing in Colorado used to be.
Snowfall
Snow by day
Solid bars: new snow per day. Outlined bars: the model forecast per day, lighter and dashed from the third day out. A grey stub marked “–” is a day with no reading, not a day with no snow.
Base depth
Conditions report — Loveland
Cold, dry, and high — Loveland's elevation keeps snow quality top-tier even when the I-70 corridor warms up. Wind on The Ridge can be intense; if Lift 9 is on hold, head to Lifts 1 and 4 in the basin.
All groomable terrain groomed nightly. Patrol Bowl and The Ridge stay natural.
Snow quality
Refrozen surface in spots. Ski groomers, stick to lower angles.
