Snow-making machines throw snow behind silhouetted snowboarders during opening day at Arapahoe Basin Ski Resort Wednesday, Oct. 17, 2012, in Arapahoe Basin, Colo.

Aspen Mountain will open about 120 acres of terrain to skiers and snowboarders this weekend, after also offering bonus skiing on Memorial Day weekend.

Arapahoe Basin says it will re-open its lift June 10 through June 12, when it's set to close for the season. A-Basin says the temperatures and timing of the snowfall this spring has helped it maintain its snow.
