Ski resorts in Colorado have reported their first snowfall on high peaks of the 23-24 pre-season today.
Arapahoe Basin, Breckenridge (above) and Copper Mountain (below) were among the first to post snowy images.
The snowfall follows the first snowfall last week at ski areas around Banff in Alberta and prior to that snowfall at ski areas including Alta and Snowbird in Utah and ski areas in Oregon.
No ski areas are currently open in North America, but the highest ski areas in Colorado are often the first in North America to open for the season each fall, and Loveland ski area plans to begin snowmaking at the end of September.
It, along with other resorts including A Basin, Wolf Creek, Copper and Keystone will be aiming to open as early as possible in October, meaning the start of the new season is potentially just over a month away.
