a basin should beat us every year.  our run is twice the length as what they open with and they have a brand spanking new snowmaking system.  congrats to a basin!  have fun shreading it up tomorrow.  it's going to be a pretty sight seeing those chairs going tomorrow.  thank god the season is here!

we should be opening pretty soon. keep checking www.skiloveland.com and www.skiloveland.com/snowmaking for opening day info and snowmaking updates.

man this probably sucks for you guys, when you guys used to open first you had so many people come up and ski. so much income where as everyone has the summit pass and will just go to abay now.

i just got home from a-basin and i have a large smile on my face. I got on the lift at 9:05ish and was back in my car headed home after one run.  It was a little hectic with lots of people out of control on a small run, but who cares it is Oct. 10th and i made some turns, yeehaw!

meh, not worth going till there is some natural snowfall on the ground and more open than the white ribbon of death. Those are some of the shittiest opening conditions I've ever seen.
