The outdoor and resort areas of Colorado have 4 distinct seasons: Summer, winter, and our shoulder seasons, locally referred to as “mud season.” The true mud season runs from the time the ski resorts close until the official start of the summer season. This time frame has been dubbed mud season because this is when it finally starts to get warm again and all the snowpack that has accumulated throughout the Rockies begins to melt. Although most of the major ski resorts are closed, mud seasons is arguably the best time to find discounts and deals all over the high country. For example, many of the restaurants and bars offer food specials most commonly including 2 for 1 meals or half price appetizers. A conscious shopper can capitalize on mud season retail sales abound.
