Need Recommendation for November in Colorado

Thanks for all of the suggestions. After corresponding with Copper
who said they'd probably ony be about half open on T'giving, I think
we'll probably do what many suggested--wait until about the second
week of November and then decide. I appreciate the input!

Cheers,

Oh, Sam Sieber, are you there?
Don't you usually ski Loveland before Turkey day?

I have been trying to get Sam to respond to various e-mails for about
9 months now. Nothing. I did try to reach a Sam Seiber by telephone,
in the Denver area, but learned that he had died. I don't know if it
was our Sam Seiber or not. Hope he responds to this, but I'm rather
afraid that he is no longer alive.

Oh dear. Pray it isn't true. Can anyone else
help with information? Surely someone out there
has skied with Sam and has more personal info
than us outlanders.

Copper half open by Thanksgiving? Yeah, that's wishful thinking.
I've never seen that happen in the 20 years I've lived here. Usually
they have the front side of the mountain open by then. By
Thanksgiving they have American Eagle, American Flyer and Rendezvous
open. If you are lucky, they will also have the green lifts open on
the west side and possilby Super Bee. I guess you could say then that
half the lifts are open but not half the terrian.

Ahh, Yup! Loveland will have at least a few runs by Turkey day.
Sometimes just about all of the blues & greens are go for T-Day.
Just depends on the early snows, which last year were MIA. But
hey, I hear that we are due for snow above 10,000ft this weekend,
so lets go skiing this weekend! No operationg lifts natch!

BTW, since last year, I have become quite the narrow gauge railroad
buff. Cumbres & Toltec railroad rock!

Whew. We hadn't hear from you in so long we
were actually worried regarding your health.

The weather report for tonight calls for snow in the higher
elevations. When the weather clears on Saturday we should have snow
above treeline. I'll post some pics if it happens.

I salute you, and raise a flagon of mead to you. If your name was
something other than, "Billy Bob," it might live ... perhaps for
years.
