usually its fine, you pretty much have to be blind and going 80mph to do any damage to your skis

I think you'll be fine too. But in all reality it'd be smart to bring both, just in case its terrible. But from the photos it looks pretty good.

yeah.. patrol won't really do anything about it on the first day. Plus you won't be the only one doing it... if you're not, then I will.

expect little jumps to be all down the sides over snow fences and slow signs as well. It'll be fun.

no, your skis will be ok if you take them on the open runs but on the closed ones it will be pretty sketchy. of course you won't know till your there, bring two pairs

why even risk shredding your new skis on these pre season conditions? nobody gives a shit what you look like early season, the fashion show doesn't even really exist at loveland.

I guess your right, when your skiing groomers at loveland in october you need the highest quality equipment ever.

and i was being sarcastic before, sometimes that gets lost over this NS thing.

jesus its gonna be one groomed run, there arent gonna be rocks jutting out every 10 feet, you'll be fine with new skis. Theres nothing wrong with bringing new skis for the first day and seeing how they ride. Whats so wrong with that?
