I am so bummed. I was in and out of Denver on my way to Cheyenne all last week and just hoping for some cool WX. It was 80 degees last week. Had I gone this week I could of got some turns in. ..Sounds like the customer needs follow up visit, better tell my boss.

Loveland is opening tomorrow....thats incredible for mid october!!

*check out the lift lines on the cam at Arapahoe Basin - both resorts got about a foot last nite

I happened to be at A-Basin during the first weekend that they opened up last year and let me say that is was PAINFUL.

Only two runs, warm weather and extremely long lines. I don't think I'll do that again.

On the other hand, it was great skiing once I was able to get on the slopes.
