They've done it before, so I wouldn't be surprised.  Definitely bring rock skis if they do though, there isn't a lot of snow.

With 18 in last night, an early opening could be very possible, esp. if they were already considering it.

I don't think they'll open early, the only places with a base are north aspects on the upper mountain.  I can see maybe a day or two on the weekend to get some traffic on the snow since it's so light, but an outright opening is out of the question (in my opinion).

They were supposedly running the Bridger lift for a few hours today.  I bet there's a chance they'll do the same thing the next couple days because the snow is so light and we're supposed to get wind sunday/monday.

Yeah, I think it was passholders only.  If you're heading up to bridger bring your pass.
