Anybody boarding out in UTAH or COLORADO right now?

How about some early season reports for us eastcoasters who are
jonesing for some snow!

Went up to Brighton (UT) last weekend. About a 1/3 of the mountain is
open after they got 5 feet of snow in about a week's time. All the
available runs are groomed and packed, so find the pow requires diving
in and out of trees.

Here in Bend, Oregon we have already had a minor dump of a few inches
in town and the mountain (Mt. Bachelor) has a base of about 18 inches
or so. They claim they will open next Friday. Check their site at
http://www.mtbachelor.com for the details. They got their snowmaking
system up and running this year and I know they have been blowing at
night when it's cold.

Timberline plans to open the next day. It's weird enough not being able
to make runs at Timberline this time of year - but to have another ski
resort in OR open when Timberline is closed? That's gotta be a first!

Park City Mountain Will open November 14th, this is a cut and paste
from their press release:

Triggered By Early Season Snowfall and Excellent Snowmaking Conditions

Park City, Utah (November 6, 2003) – Park City Mountain Resort will
kick off its 40th anniversary season one week early on Friday,
November 14, 2003. Over four feet of natural snowfall and ideal
snowmaking conditions have provided optimum conditions for an early
season opening.

What're you talking about?!?! I was in a blizzard at Killington on
Tuesday! Plenty of fluffy snow there, and Okemo is opening, too.
Looks to be a good season here!
