I just read that loveland is going to open on friday. Here's the article:
SUMMIT COUNTY — If this week's storm hasn't already spurred you to wax your boards, the news from Loveland Ski Area should add some incentive. Marketing director John Sellers said the ski area will fire up one chairlift this Friday, Oct. 14, for one of its earliest opening days ever.
“We got 18 inches out of this storm and they're making snow like crazy,” Seller said, adding that Loveland will open with its usual offering of one top-to-bottom, 1000-vertical-foot run, comprised of three connected trails; Catwalk, Mambo abd Homerun.
Loveland has been the clear leader in the ongoing opening-day derby, at least during at least the past 10 years, but A-Basin has become a factor since installing a top-to-bottom snowmaking system a few seasons ago. The Legend previously announced a scheduled opening day of Oct. 21. No word was available as of Wednesday morning whether the early October storm might push up that date.
Other ski resorts around the county are set to open in November.
Seller said that one group of skiers and boarders has already set up camp in Loveland's parking lot, planning on being first on the chair come Friday morning. He wouldn't discuss how many people have showed up in the past for opening day but said last year marked one of the best openings ever.
Tickets on opening day will be $38. Call Loveland at (303) 569-3203 for more information.

i plan on just hiking up to the park next weekend since i didnt get a chance to this weekend. all you gotta do is take off your jacket and put it on the side of the park somewhere cause most people put lift tickets on their jacket. so if you are just wearing a shirt or something they will think "oh their lift ticket must be on their jacket". and plus...its public land. what could they do if you hiked it?? its not like you are using their lifts
