Any word on snowmaking or anything? I have been hearing awful rumors that they won't open until mid november because of their new lift, as in after breck and key... wack.

Can anyone tell me otherwise? Anyone on the inside preferrably.

Finally, the current setup has been pretty much horrible. It would have been so much better to just have separated the box and rail to begin with.

45 minute lift lines today... I wouldn't be caught dead there on a Saturday and especially not on Halloween Sunday. Not unless they open another lift which probably won't happen in the next 8 hours

honestly... you all should just go up to berthoud. there's 2 good sized kickers and 2 rails set up. there'll be nobody there so you'll have it all to yourself, stop being such whimps and going to a ski area with 1 or 2 runs... :p

Ok speaking of good drivers... I had class all day and i woke up at 8 for my 9 am... felt like shit and decided not to go, popped in Network (cuz i just picked it up yesterday) and then next thing I know... my ski socks are on my feet haha.

 I literally got to Keystone in an hour and 5 minutes.... I have NO FUCKING CLUE how.. hahaha. My roommate left an hour before I did and by the time i was walking to the gondy, they only took 1 run hahaha

ha my b. They are no where near as fun. though. Since ive been post whoring, I'll go ahead and actually add to the thread by saying I went to keystone today, and it was fucking sick, Parks set up a little weird, but the features are on point.

Doesnt have anything to do with A-Bay, so I guess I'm still not contributing... Oh well, i'm over it ha

It just snow squawed here in breck for about an hour. Now its bright and sunny. Abay Im sure got hit too. Speaking of Abay......yesterday the park was money because everyone was at Keystone aka 'Flatstone' doing polish donuts down the last  icy headwall which is all that place is fun for early season if you ask me haha. My polish donut record there is 5 in a row.....after that Im dizzy as fuck.

what's a polish donut? is that where you just spin around? i can do that for days. trying to ski straigh afterwards is the hard part haha.

hit up keystone yesterday and abasin in the afternoon. a basin was empty compared to keystone and the runs open were way more fun.
