I wouldn't be surprised to see Loveland announce the same thing sometime today.

Well I just learned something. Timberline, Oregon opened for skiing on September 30 on the Palmer snowfield. Unlike A-Basin and Loveland, it's on "old" snow, but it is snow.

Anyone that needs an early season fix can now choose from three resorts in two states.

It appears that LOTS of people enjoyed the opening weekend at the Basin
