I heard breck is opening the 7th of November. Has anyone heard anything about keystone or a basin at all? I'm trying to get opening week planned so I can take off a few days from work.

Keystone is usually a week before brick opens. it depends with a-basin it could be 2 to 3 weeks ahead of keystone. vail and beaver are either the same day as brick or a week later

An opening date is nothing more then just a date. Some years they open on the date they plan to, other years earlier, other years later.

Making plans this early, for an opening weekend is not wise.

Also, why opening weekend? Do you enjoy ribbons of death, 1 lift, and huge lift lines?

And the most stoke of the whole season. Opening day/weekend is always the best, because only people who really live skiing go

I'm taking a few days off from work. I have Saturdays and su days off. Doesn't look like it's opening weekend. I was asking for the date so I can plan that week.

They open as soon as they can, which is rarely on the predicted date, it all depends on the weather

I just talked to ABasin ski patrol and they are going to let people start loading the first lift at 8:23:42 MDT on October 8 this year. They are going to do this no matter what, regardless of how much or how little snow they have by then, but their predictions are pretty accurate so it is expected to have a 23.42 inch base at the time with 7.63" of fresh. Keystone and Breckenridge will not be opening at all all winter because fuck Vail.

You forgot to ad that Vail may not open either because Park City removed all of their lifts.

You're thinking breck. Key has opened the first weekend of November for the past few years. I heard rumors of it being a week earlier so I was doing some NS work.

The only way to know when they're opening is to follow Al's Blog on their website.
