Loveland started blowing snow

the leaves are still green! They have hardly started to change color and snow already. I hope Abasin wins (the race) and opens on the 10th like last year.

I work the 11th so I am taking off the 10th and I hope I won't be golfing.

 
i heard they are trying for sooner, like the 5th or something, wouldnt suprise me since last year it was hot as shit while they were blowing snow, now there might be actual cold weather and maybe some snow to work with.
 
Hate to brust bubbles but they didn't start yet, as there site states to start soon and that pic is from last year. i am guessing in a few days since it's going to be a little warm the rest of this week. But the finsh line is in sight now
 
I think abasin started blowing after loveland last year but opened before. It also says that got even more blowing equip at abasin so I hope they snipe loveland so I don't have to pay.

 


(LOVELAND

SKI AREA, Georgetown, CO. – September 24, 2008) – Mother Nature surprised

Loveland Ski Area with colder temperatures last night which allowed Loveland’s

snowmaking crew to start making snow for the 2008-2009 ski season.



"It has been cold up in the

high country, but it didn’t look like we would get the

temperatures necessary to start making snow until later in the week,"

said Eric Johnstone, Loveland’s Snowmaking and Trail Maintenance Manager. "We had all our guns placed on the hill

and our crew was on standby so we were ready to go when the temperatures dipped

last night."



Loveland Ski Area has started

making snow at midnight on the trails Catwalk, Mambo and Homerun for Opening

Day 2008. These trails form a top

to bottom run of 1,000 vertical feet.



"We have been getting flooded

with calls and e-mails from skiers and riders eager to start the ski

season," said Rob Goodell, Director of Business Operations. "We still have snow up on the peaks from

the last storm and now we have some snow on our trails too. Let the race begin!"



Snowmaking updates are available

at www.skiloveland.com/snowmaking. The site will be updated regularly with

pictures and progress reports so visitors can get daily updates on snowmaking

progress.
