Denver’s Ruby Hill Rail Yard for skiers and snowboarders closed for the season on Sunday due to warm temperatures and deteriorating conditions after only a month in operation.
Launched in 2007 as North America’s first urban winter terrain park, with snowmaking equipment provided by city-owned Winter Park Resort, Ruby Hill usually opens in early to mid-January and remains open until mid- to late March. This year, though, it opened on Feb. 1 and closed on March 1.

This year was a unique year, it’s been a very warm winter. We had to wait until there was enough cold for us to open, then the same on the back end — it’s been way too warm. All the ice is melting and turning into slush, so we had to close it.”
