Breckenridge Ski Resort was the only local ski area to break the top 10, coming in at number seven, down a spot from last year.

Copper Mountain jumped five spots in the poll landing at number 14 out of 30, matching its highest rank ever, which was first set in 1993.

Aging Baby Boomers Dominate Ski Slopes

ASPEN - Aspen isn't the only ski resort dominated by wealthy, old, white guys with a lot of time on their hands.

The ski industry's customer base aged significantly in the last decade, according to a demographic study released this month by the National Ski Areas Association, a trade group based in Denver. Skiers and snowboarders also tend to be much wealthier and whiter than the population as a whole. And the mix is stuck at about 61 percent male, the survey showed.

NSAA said 92 of 485 ski areas in the U.S. participated in the survey last season. They talked to 138,919 customers.

ARAPAHOE BASIN - Both Breckenridge resident Jeff Meyer and Arapahoe Basin have a bit of a competitive streak. Neither of them were going to miss out on first chair of the season.

For A-Basin, Wednesday, Oct. 10 was its earliest opening ever. For Meyer and his two friends, Trailer Tom and Nate Dogggg, it was simply the 13th season they earned the right to ride the first chair.

A-Basin had been making snow since Sept. 24 and hoped to open this coming weekend.

Beetles Still Spreading Fast

Photo by Summit Daily/Eric DrummondSUMMIT COUNTY - Mountain pine beetles are still finding new trees to kill at an unprecedented rate in local forests, with no signs that the infestation will slow down any time soon.

"We're just looking for some really cold weather," said Sandy Briggs, of the local pine beetle task force, referring to a hoped-for cold snap that might kill some of the larvae in the trees and limit the damage.

Briggs said the outlook is still that the bugs will kill about 90 percent of the lodgepole trees in the area, decimating the predominant tree species at the mid-elevations in Summit County.
