Boreal blowing a pile of snow and putting a box on it doesn't count as an "open mountain".

I would agree, but running a lift does. Would awesome to beat A-basin once.

For sure...I could ski down a hill if I had a car, ski boots, and knew where to go. 3-4inches is enough to ski on right?

I got a feeling Loveland and/or A Basin will open soon. They have been blasting Twitter and Facebook with snowmaking progress. Then all of a sudden it has totally died yet the temperatures are still good for snowmaking which makes me think they are positioning to be the first open and don't want one another to know their progress.

GEORGETOWNClick for larger image - Loveland Ski Area is set to win this year's race to be the first ski area to open for the season in North America.

Loveland announced on Tuesday afternoon that Chair 1 will start up at 9 a.m. on Wednesday.

The ski area started making snow in preparation for the opening day on Sept. 21.

Each year, Loveland and Arapahoe Basin race to be the first ski area to open. A-Basin said on Tuesday it had 19 snow guns running, but had not set an opening day.

Loveland says Wednesday will mark its earliest opening day in 40 years.

"Skiers and riders have been waiting all summer for this day and we are anxious to fire up the lifts," Loveland Director of Business Operations Rob Goodell said in a statement.

Loveland will let skiers and snowboarders have access to a top-to-bottom run via Chair 1.
