loveland doesn't show a lot other than the bottom, and abay's has looked the same for a while...

exactly the base area at loveland is still bare, there either isn't enough snow or they're waiting to push it down

abasin's base area is pretty bare but im hoping they have a fair amount of snow made higher up on the trail and they're just waiting to push it down. i guess only time will tell.

loveland and abasin will not open until they have 18' bases. it doesnt matter if they have great coverage up top or not.

When did anywhere in Colorado get 18' last year? I must have missed that powder day.

Except last year Colorado got a snowstorm in early October, and a basin opened on the 7th (I think) which was the earliest opening in like 40 years.
