A couple of rails.  That's about it, there won't be enough snow for much else.

i asked the terrain park manager and he said there is going to be more of a variety there. so there is going to be rails and boxes for beginners as well as the good guys.

This was their press release

ARAPAHOE BASIN ANNOUNCES OPENING DAYSKI SEASON WILL BEGIN 10/9/09
10/6/2009

Arapahoe Basin ski area officials announce that its opening day for their 2009-2010 ski season will be Friday, October 9, 2009, the ski area’s earliest opening in history.

The Exhibition chairlift will open to the public at 9:00 a.m. Friday. Skiers and riders can look forward to an 18-inch base on the intermediate High Noon run and six features in the High Divide Terrain Park. There will be no beginner skiing.

A-Basin congratulates Loveland Ski Area for being the first ski area to open in North America when it opens tomorrow. It’s nice to see our neighbor take the crown this year, but we will be back in the race for the 2010-2011 ski season.


So you can see that they will have six features open



Loveland opens tomorrow though
