Wolf Creek Ski Area in southern Colorado officially reopened this weekend as crews continued flood damage repairs in the area.
A live webcam of the resort near Pagosa Springs showed fresh powder blanketing slopes and skiers and snowboarders circling the lodge.
The resort planned to close again on Monday, but CEO Davey Pitcher said he believed the lifts would be back on by the end of the week.
“They are assuring us that by next Friday emergency repairs will be done and they will be open for Thanksgiving week,” said Pitcher.

Operations then would likely return to normal, he said.
Wolf Creek initially opened on Halloween, but historic flooding disrupted the season, washing out roads and damaging infrastructure.
Pitcher said he expected to be back open seven days a week soon.
