It may or may not open on that date, who knows.... it doesn't really matter either way though. All you are going to get is the "icy ribbon of death" on the opener and subsequent week....it's really just to get the jones to ski out of your system until your home mountain opens.
Needless to say I'm pretty stoked for Loveland/Abasin to open

You can't see 85% of the run from the road. Look at the cams and you will see that they with some cold temps, they could easily open around Oct 13th.

Anyone wanna place a bet that it will be open by the end of the weekend? You guys all seem pretty confident that they have no chance.

i drove by there at 2:00 today coming back from frisco and it was a little dissapointing. but on the upside the weather was starting to look very promising and they have blown a bit of snow in areas. I think with some help from mother nature and some serious snowblowing they could make it by friday

I heard that loveland wasnt even trying to be the first this year. Its A-Basins turn, they most definatly can have a run up within a week

bitches, it opens the 13th. Do you have any idea of how much fucking snow they can make? theyre opening this weekend. But if they don't, but they will, they will wait to next weekend because they wont open in the middle of the week. So it will either be this fri or sat or next fri or sat.

it will be close i think abasin has a little bit better coverage right now, but loveland will a make more snow so i could see somehting open this weekend since it's going to be below 32 pretty much all week.

i was up there (a basin) yesterday, they have a semi snake trail of blown snow snaking down the mountain that i hiked up and had some turns down, at the time i was hiking it had started to snow, im back here in slc and cold temps are setting in for a lil bit of a stretch and i can only imagine it would be the same in co, so theyll be able to blow some more snow. plus my friend who knows the shit going on at a basin has been saying around next week (15th/16th) or so

the cam is looking better. Within 1 day, they covered the run. In 5 more days, they can blow enough snow to open. It is a question of wheather or not the temperatures will allow them to blow snow during the day. YEEAAAAAAAAA
