Ski Season Opens This Week: Super El Nino Gives the West Its Best Snow Odds in Years

The first significant snow of the 2026–27 season dusted the Sierra Nevada on October 23 as Arapahoe Basin in Colorado prepared to open its lifts this weekend — and behind that early-season signal is a meteorological event that could reshape where US skiers should book their winter: a Super El Niño that federal forecasters give a greater-than-90 percent chance of becoming "very strong," redirecting Pacific storms toward Utah, Colorado, and California while leaving the Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies significantly drier than usual. For anyone still deciding between a season pass and day tickets, the Epic Pass goes up in price again on November 15, and the Ikon Pass closes for the season in early December.

He helped mix Taylor Swift’s ‘Red.’ Now this Grammy-nominated sound engineer calls Aptos home

To get to Math Bishop’s studio, you will snake into the woods of Aptos. The redwoods will crowd up next to your car as you white-knuckle a couple of hairpin turns. You will cross a bridge covered in moss. The road will not always be paved. Sometimes it will be a bit dark as the thick tree cover blocks out the sky. It will be completely quiet.
