I'll be there Saturday, even if I have to hitchhike!
I'm going to ski for the first hour on Friday, then I have to get to work. But I'll also do some early runs on Saturday. I want to ski backcountry on Sunday morning, but might even show up for an afternoon session. :D:D:D:D:D Loveland open soon!!!!
Anyone have some extra early season coupons or know where I could get some?
I may have to slip out for some friday morning runs. Maybe half-day. funken, I may have some extra coupons. I'll check when I get home.
You can get a gems card from Colorado Ski Country which gives you $8 off a ticket, but you probably won't get in the mail before this weekend.Quote:

4 packs aren't sold at the window and they don't let you order them over the phone and pick them up at the window either, at least in the past that is the way it was done.
How much are they going to have open a small patch? Wide enough for two turns. I saw winter park today got a nice amount of snow.

I may be out Saturday to get a few runs on the ribbon. Always a good time playing skier pinball down Mambo.
i think clipping tickets around 12:30pm friday in the Loveland parking lot is the best bet.
Looks like they are actually accumulating some snow!
It's been a soggy fall. Hopefully it carries through the winter. Sorry for the jinx. :D
Ah yes, "Mombo maddness" (ie the ribbon of death)..... :p
And thus another season begins..... :)
To everyone I wish you a very happy and safe season. :D
See you there on Friday... :cool:

Put me in for Sunday
So does anyone have an extra coupon for Saturday? I really don't want to spend 34 bucks on a ticket. (yes, I know I could clip one)
Can someone give me a ride on Monday? I'll gladly contribute gas money and other motavators.
Z, I'll be there early am tomorrow. Silver full-face, charcoal grey/orange boots, white jacket, silver pants, probably on navy blue darksides.
funken, no coupons here, but for $29 you get the discount card and a free lift ticket the day you buy it (early season). That's what I'll be doing. Not a bad deal and will pay off later if you choose to go back.
If you clippers are cool with stealing from a ski area I guess that's up to you (sucks ripping off a little place like Loveland, especially when they've been putting out dollars to make the snow you'll be skiing).
damnit damnit damnit....looks like i got scheduled to work tommorow(fri) so im out...
looks like more waiting :rolleyes: till monday....gaper pm me if you need a ride then
NO... I DON'T mINd MissINg opening day. NOT aT aLL!. I'm FINE WITH It!
HAVE FUN
REALLY!
Cheap turns and alpine boots. Not too shabby.
Good to see some old friends too. And Loveland is all white. :)
THIS YEAR IS GONNA BE SO GOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!! :D
It was muy bien. They had a couple of boxes set-up. Good snow. Just fun making turns and carrying a little speed again. No traffic either. I may have to schedule fridays off all winter. :D
Hey MD9, were there any jumps set up?Quote:

Felt really good to get out and slide on the snow this morning. I think that it was one of the best ribbon of death days since I move out here. The lines did get pretty long as the morning went on though. Under Chair one looked better today than in November of last year. Great Start.
