[ski diva]

Loveland starts making snow in two months, 10 days.

Go here for an up to the minute countdown.

Get out! Wow, with the amazing snow they had this year, it's going to be a short off-season in CO!

I LOVE living in Colorado. If we start mid-October like we have the last 3 seasons then I'm only 3.5 months from skiing. :D

 

[LilaBear]

It starts mid October???

I didn't know that . Fabulous, another unforeseen benefit of my geographical relocation. I didn't know it was going to be so sunny here either, with cool evenings.

I knew it was going to be good, I didn't know it was going to be this good.

Gosh I hope we get an early ski season. Last season the first snow was actually in October, although it wasn't anything skiable. Meanwhile, half of California is on fire!

 

[ski&bfree]

I wish I lived in CO. We don't get a good snow until early December, sometimes LATE December!!! :(

Heeeeey, they changed the counter. Now it's at 2 months, 8 days.... it was about to crack 2 months a few days ago:

Holy Cow!! We don't even have our Open House at our ski resort until mid October... then it's a wait to see when it gets cold, and when it'll snow...

Wow!

Makes me think we live in the wrong part of the country, eh?

Any Colorado Front Range Divas interested in joining the mayhem on opening day for A Basin or Loveland? - depending on which mountain opens first. I haven't heard any news on which will be the first. Anyway, I've always thought it would be a blast if I could ever get together with a bunch of people and be there on opening day.

Abasin announced yesterday on one of the local channel that it hopes to open in 6 weeks.

That's right girls...six weeks.

That's their typical opening time frame. Early-mid October.

 

[LilaBear]

It's just crazy!

sdskiqueen - an opening day diva bonanza, I'd be interested in that. It would be a fine start to my first ever Colorado ski season.

Opening day can be fun but be prepared to ski the white ribbon of death. There's usually only 1 or 2 runs open and everyone and their brother and sister is there. The snow is almost always all manmade, a little icy. Don't get me wrong, it can be a fun day, but be prepared for long lines, crowded slopes, and suboptimum conditions. My advice is take a few runs, then converge in the lodge (works at either Loveland or the Basin) for a drinky-poo.
