So Loveland has 20 runs and 3 lifts open. With that same storm hitting Copper with 24" also, do you all think they'll have more open than just the Ptarmigan/Main Vein combo they open with traditionally? I'd think they'd have been making snow for a while too, plus the last dump would equal a few more choices this go around. Anyone have any beta for this week's opening?
from the website:
Friday, November 3
Opening Day!
We open on Friday, November 3. Our current plan is to open with top-to-bottom skiing and riding. Five lifts with 2,600 ft. of vertical. Check back as we'll post more info as we get it. In the meantime, check out webcams for the latest on what's happening here.
5 lifts huh?
probably have the bee, eagle, flyer, excel, and timberline open Id think
One of those "lifts" will probally be a magic carpet. They include these inorder to pump up their lift open number
Is Copper as pussy as it looked in the Warren Miller piece??
and I think another lift is that POS on the golf course, whateverthefuck it's called.Quote:

Eagle, Execelerator, storm king, and one of the beginner lifts for sure, I think another week or so for flyer, not sure about the B
storm king? you think?
probably just that one run next to it being open...
I haven't seen the Warren Miller piece but I'm inclined to say yes.Quote:

Cue someone posting the ever clever "my home mountain sucks real bad so stay away" reply. That never gets old...:rolleyes:Quote:

I've noticed that most of those home mountains actually do suck to some degree. You never hear it from people who ski at alta or squaw or taos or jackson hole. interesting, eh?Quote:
