A-basin announces tentative opening date

**funkendrenchman** · 10-14-2003, 04:22 PM

"Look for us to open Friday, October 24, 2003! (weather and snow dependent)"

If you wait until Saturday, just be prepared for the longest liftlines ever seen in CO. Imagine Keystone with a slower double chair!

How did they get the snow guns up to the North Pole and the other chutes?

Possibly. I may check out the lines there and if they are crazy, I will go to Loveland instead.

Are there no periods and capital letters in Alaska either?

I'm going to be alternating between the Loveland and A Basin. It will definitely be a zoo at A Basin on the weekend. Mebbe a 1-2 hour wait per run? Since Keystone's not willing to run the early season race anymore, there's no advantage for Colorado Card holders. All 10 million of them. A Friday opening day at A Basin might be ok though.

I'm just glad it's finally cooled off enough around here.

Copper Mountain is still blowing snow too... at least on the upper part of the mountain when I was there yesterday at CSAW. They still have their opening date set for Nov-1. I'm trying to figure out if I want to buy a 4-pack (already have a colorado pass).
