Loveland snowmaking count down for 2017-18, any guess for opening day?

[newboots]

I just realized that I missed the date that @newboots picked for the Opening Day at Loveland. Looks like she may be the winner! Much to be said for being a starry-eyed optimist.

Of course, not too late for @RachelV or another Diva to pick a date before 10/15.

Loveland Opening Day
10/15 - newboots
10/25 - bounceswoosh
10/28 - Robyn
10/31 - nopoleskier
11/9 - MarzNC

Wow - it was less starry-eyed optimism than a total shot in the dark. But let's wait and see.

I like optimists. Meant as a compliment for your general enthusiasm for skiing in general, not just in your neck of the woods.

Thanks, @marzNC !
I sure am hoping for a long, snowy season this year (fingers crossed for Vermont!)

OnTheSnow has 10/15 and 10/20 listed as the opening dates for Loveland and A-Basin as of 03Oct. So we shall see soon who is right.

Loveland just announced "not this weekend". Maybe next week.

Sounds like going to be a day in between 10/15 and 10/25. Does Loveland usually wait for a Friday?

10/25 - bounceswoosh
10/28 - Robyn
10/31 - nopoleskier

Loveland announced that 10/20 is Opening Day! Guess that makes it a tie between 10/15 and 10/25.

I think you can have the prize, because I plan to be skiing at Loveland on Friday ... which is a pretty good prize!
