BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. (CBS4)- Breckenridge, Keystone and Eldora Mountain opened to skiers and boarders on Wednesday morning. That's earlier than each ski area anticipated opening for the 2018-2019 ski season.

Up to four feet of snow has fallen in the past week in parts of Colorado's high country, totaling more than five feet so far this season.

Both ski areas were set to open Nov. 9 but will open on Wednesday.
