word, supposedly its official that loveland wont open, but dont hold me too it, freeskier says that it looks or that they had heard that a-basin had a jump on loveland...and as far as rails, loveland had a down, dfd, and up flat down box all boxes last season when they opened, and basin had like 3 flat boxes, and 1 street style down rail

Loveland is definately not opening tomorrow, which I would think makes it doubtful for the weekend. C'mon Abasin...I need to make some turns!

On their site it says that the first trail is completely done and ready to go in terms of snowmaking. I really can't see it opening though, I drove by last weekend and they had hardly any snow.

it says that they only have a little more to go, i looked yesterday and they only had like 1/4th of the run done, now like 4/5ths of it is done, if they keep blowing snow through tonight and all tomorrow and tomorrow night it seems like they could make plenty of snow.
i bet they are gonna open tomorrow.

Does anyone know what will be next for A-Basin??? Will they just open more runs off of that one lift or will they puch up the mountain to the next lift? If they do not open more lifts, it is always going to be crowded until Breck and Keystone open.

a-basin is dope right now. They have a flat shotgun rail setup urban style, great for 270 on pretz and stuff. everyone was throwing down lip 2 on pretz out, 2 on pretz out, delorme and his steezy edge slide. then there is the c-box set up curving left and a flat box.

yeah, the thing that got me about a basin was the vibe there...shit was so rad...the line for the rail got pretty intense at some points and the box was next to unhittable since there were about 30 people sitting over there at any time...the c box was the shit though...not to mention being able to ski a lift serviced run!!!
