Let the Countdown Begin: Colorado Ski Resorts Announce Opening Dates

The countdown to ski season is officially on! Colorado’s world-class ski resorts are releasing their opening days for the 25/26 season. It won’t be long before the lifts start spinning again in Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Steamboat, and Vail:

  • Breckenridge – November 7
  • Vail – November 14
  • Steamboat – November 22
  • Beaver Creek – November 26

While the rest of the country is still sweltering in late summer heat, we’re already picturing crisp, blue-bird sky mornings, the crunch of fresh snow underfoot, and the thrill of that first chairlift or gondola ride of the season. And now is the perfect time to start planning your ski trip.


Why You Should Start Planning Early

A luxury ski vacation is all about maximizing your time on the slopes and enjoying the best our resorts have to offer. But behind every memorable vacation is a bit of thoughtful planning.

The most sought-after experiences begin booking up quickly, so securing them early ensures your time in the mountains is spent soaking up the adventure rather than worrying about logistics. To make the most of your trip, we recommend reserving early for:

  • Ski & Snowboard School – lessons fill up quickly, especially for holiday weeks.
  • Airport Transfers – ensure a seamless arrival to your mountain home.
  • Private Chef Dinners – unforgettable dining experiences in the comfort of your luxury vacation rental home.
  • Grocery Delivery – avoid the grocery store and have your fridge and pantry stocked when you arrive.

Add snowmobiling, dogsledding, tubing, and all the other snowy fun, and it’s easy to see why now is the best time to start mapping out your perfect winter escape.


Let Our Team Handle the Details

As a Moving Mountains guest, you don’t need to sweat the details. Our complimentary Guest Services Team is here to take the guesswork (and the stress) out of your vacation.

As soon as you’ve reserved your home, you’ll be paired with your own Guest Services Specialist—think of them as your personal vacation consultant. They’ll recommend the best outfitters, guide you to the activities that suit your group, and take care of all the reservations.

The result? You arrive for a vacation that feels effortless, with every detail taken care of, so you can spend your time where it matters most—on the slopes, around the fire, and with the people you love.


If you haven’t already booked your luxury vacation rental home, let Moving Mountains find the perfect winter retreat.
