That's when they opened last year, but I wouldn't depend on that date.

friday sounds so nice, and i looked at the forecast for loveland past for the next couple days, pretty much a chance of snow friday night through monday..so if not friday then only a day or so later..lets hope!

Being a first year A-basin pass holder I hate to ask such a simple (yet truly important question).

When they open (be it this friday or next) are they going to be open 7 days a week from there on out or will it just be long weekends until more snow/mother nature makes more runs glideable?

Don't worry if their isn't snow down by the base of the lift. They make most of the snow higher up on the mountain and then the night before opening will push a ton of snow down with the cat to the base of the lift.

it was cold enough for them to be blowing at Loveland this morning.  The frame on the A-Basin cam looks exactly like the one yesterday, maybe it's not updating?

It is going to be next Friday, unless Loveland opens friday than they may move it to Thursday to be the first open. They don't make their first day Saturday...I can't think of any year in the past 5 when them or loveland didn't open on a thursday or friday.

I thought it was a Thursday, sorry...It was just 1 day before loveland...I knew it was oct. 10, I just thought the days went back 1 day each year, like Oct. 10 this year was Friday so last year was thursday, but I guess that doesn't work.
