looks like everyone's on line and no one's on the hill.

there's no doubt that if mama nature cooperated and k opened say nov. 1, that the place would be packed.

over on the other side of the devide loveland opened up as well... http://www.skiloveland.com/Pics/photos/ ... llery.aspx

doesn't look as busy as A-basin from those pictures, but I imagine it is as it is 1000ft of vert as opposed to 500ft of vert at a-basin.

Impossible. Eastern skiers don't want to ski that early. There's simply no demand for it. Eastern skiers demand a "quality product" and are more than willing to wait until Powdr says the slopes are properly prepared in a quality manner.

it's a fact I never would drice 5&1/2 hours to ski before thanksgiving.not

[pcgrantham]

I would never go to K in the last weekend of October if we had a 12 inch dump. That was a dream I had a few years ago when they opened for the weekend and no one was on the mountian.

Hmm, work for a pittence at K-Mart over my last vacation week or burn some air miles and ski Colorado. I dun know, but if other factors could be removed, COLORADO would be on the plate. I might even consider a long weekend before K-Mart is even open.

But no, you are right, nobody would travel all the way to Loveland or A-Basin for early season skiing. They would have to be MAD!

LUNACY!!! I WOULD NEVER DREAM OF SKIING THIS EARLY ON ANYTHING BUT THE MOST QUALITY OF PRODUCTS!!!
