I call complete bullshit. They wont open on a tuesday and according to the website it doesnt say any thing accept typically mid-october.

From their websites:
Announcements

Arapahoe Basin typically opens in mid-October when there is a solid base of snow on the High Noon trail. Snowmaking generally starts in late September. Snowmaking and opening day are totally weather-dependent! Stay tuned to our Facebook page and this page for any announcements about the 2014-15 season. We'll see you soon!

This happens every damn year. Read Al's blog. They are going to start blowing end of sept if cold enough and it all depends on the weather when they open. Nobody will know a date until the day before or maybe two. Mid october is a safe estimate but could be sooner or later

yup, once it's announced on Facebook or his blog it's official. I love when everyone says "my buddy on ski patrol told me _____". Their "predictions" have never been correct. haha

I heard October 5th with a solid base of ice rink snow, but maybe I'm wrong

I wish they opened tomorrow... They started making snow 2 or 3 days ago, so now my official prediction is Friday October 17th

They got a good amount of snow this week, but almost all of it will probably melt
