Doesn't have anything to do with snowmaking, which is what Ruby Hill is all about. Denver never gets enough snow to sustain that without snowmaking. If you Google Ruby Hill Denver it says on the front page that it opens this month.
holy smokes, I don't check ns.com for a week, come looking for this question. lo & behold, no reason to come back to ns.com for a while! I can just shred ruby instead!
because I really REALLY love the snow, plus driving around neighborhoods in my subie is super fun. but I'm glad ruby is opening soon, it's in walking distance from my house haha
