We have a player!
Looks like A-Basin is going to join the race with Loveland to open
first. See: http://www.summitdaily.com/apps/pbcs...NEWS/309100101 I like their mention of a heavy dusting. What the hell is that? Last weekend I picked some brand new boots & bindings, something I havn't done in about 18 years. I guess I better figure out what boards I am going to put under those new bindings.

They will have snow making temps before Keystone/Breck/Copper. They will start making snow at the top, and work their way down. When A-Basin &/or Loveland open first, there will be one available path down. A-Basin has a bit of an advantage. They may well decide to lay down a path on the upper 2/3rds of their mtn. This means at the end of the ski day, you would download on the Exo lift, just like we did at the end of last season. Loveland makes one path down from their chair #1. So Loveland has to get snow made all the way to the bottom. Since A-Basin's plumbing just got finished (or very nearly complete), they have no history in the "open first" race. They have a lower & upper mtn per se, so they could cheat a bit by getting the upper mtn going to get the area open. If they have to cheat a bit to open first, I say fine. What ever gets me back on my twigs fastest is OK by me. Sam "About 5 weeks to go for ski season" Seiber |

I don't care which one wins the race. I just hope I get enough notice on opening day that I can call off work so I can be there. Sam "I have my season passes ready" Seiber |

It should be cooling down over there. Because today it was bloody hot
here and I got sunburnt! My weird little ski hill is doing well this year and is actually good skiing for the first week of teh school holidays, but the staff are all hoping it'll rain it all off so they can go home. I've been teaching all day and my feet are rooned. When someone finds a boot for wide feet with very sore 6th toe, let me know. Spring is definitley sprung (I'm conveniently ignoring the 3 days dump we got earlier this week) and it's time for the leaves to fall up in the northern hem. ant |

ant seems to be saying:
someone finds a boot for wide feet with very sore 6th toe, let me know. They don't make them. Give up, get them made specially. Spring is definitley sprung (I'm conveniently ignoring the 3 days dump we got earlier this week) and it's time for the leaves to fall up in the northern hem. Not quite yet. Here it's very dry and silly temperatures (28C afternoon, 8C night!) Meaning really brilliant off-road cycling through the limp wilting trees, but you don't get snow in dry weather! -- Sue ] |
