Kirkwood Ski Resort Opening Dates

2012/13 - 11/16 (Opened with Chair 5 and a storm moved in too; Early start to season as it typically is in the pattern of a weak El Nino forecast; Some late october/early-november storms led to snow on the mountains, couple of feet at some places, maybe more on the sierra crest; Cold temperatures and Vail's deep pockets mean good snow making opportunities)


2011/12 - 11/25 (Opened on Nov 25 with Chair 5 spinning, but resort operated only on weekends after a few days with no snow and warm temperatures, then reopened for 7 days a week on 12/17 with Chairs 5, 11, 1 spinning, thanks to snow guns; Bad snow year overall)

2010/11 - 11/24 (Bluebird opening on Nov 24th, after an "Epic" November storm with 5-7 ft of snow in 4 days; Chairs 5, 6, 11 and 1 were turning)

2009/10 - 12/04 (opened with chair 5)


2008/09 - 12/15


2007/08 - 11/25


2006/07 - 11/25
