It’s kinda crazy… 8” snow + 50hours of snowmaking would open almost every east coast resort with more than one trail(In November)
I’m thinking a basin will try to open high noon Sunday, but time will tell. I may be hopeful, because I’m currently out west and would be able to go to opening.
Latest blog post on Oct. 13 for Arapahoe Basin. :-)
Well, the opening won't be as soon as I hoped. A-Basin stopped making snow -- because it ran out of water. It appears they are about half way there.
When the streams put more water in the pond, snow making will resume.
A-Basin has announced that it will open at 8:30 a.m. Sunday October 29.
Let's see if Keystone turns on the lights and opens before 8:30
The Basin has the advantage of only needing to cover 600 feet of vert to open while Keystone needs to cover 1600.
