[traylortrash]

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

 

[Static]

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

 

[PartyHon]

threads

 

[traylortrash]

[Zimmerman]

Well guess who is open...

Sunday River , and yes, the EAST!!!

 

[Mike.Records]

[Tucks]

[traylortrash]

yeahhh whut?

 

[Bittner]

no there not....

 

[iridepc]

soooo jealous

 

[murflydude]

batman gap looks almosst hitable

 

[Aton.Jones]

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.

 

[Piste.Off]

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

 

[jsex]

18'? so they aren't opening until jan-feb?

 

[Msully]

it was quicker last year on a bad snowfall

 

[skia4life89]

are you stupid?

 

[clive_bixby]

haha you might be. 18' is a lot of snow

 

[clive_bixby]

18"

 

[thisandthatfilms]

your a grade a idiot haha

 

[Piste.Off]

no way man i meant feet

 

[ADDpenguin]

Keystone says they are going to open nov 5th. Anyone think they are going to make it? They have not started snowmaking yet.

 

[Captain_Slow]

sickk! even though I live in NY it still gets me pumped!

 

[Zimmerman]

Sorry, NS

Im going to go ahead and claim that i was misinformed by some old guy...

 

[Randonee_Urban]

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

 

[ADDpenguin]

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.

 

[3ski6guy0]

ahhh looks so close!!

 

[MidwestSteeze]

a basin as of right now. hopefully they are able to keep blowing for the rest of the week.

also theres some other snowmaking pictures from a basin, seems like they are from the 15th

 

[willy_baller]
