[freshie247]

Praise Be to ULLR!!!

[Xover]

i was told that they would be up for this weekend. i don't know if that means sat/sun or fri/sat or all three. the word came from trainer at the gmd who is usually well informed.

ya Trainer is the mang!!
know him well
makes total sense if they are closed to uphill and have been bombing
I'm there whatever days over Brighton


SICK!!!

[UTdave]

Can anybody with connections confirm their opening date? RB Endless Bueller...Bueller?

2 pieces of good news in 1:

1) Early opening.
2) Trainer is still around to enjoy his new bar after some 20 odd years at GMD.

I cannot wait to get back.

man, you guys are good; 'cause if these rumors are true, your sources know more than some of the upper-level managers at the Bird...

[midget]

Good chance you might see myself, zbo and a few other crazy pnw'ers in town unless destination changes to t-ho.

I would think those managers would have more to lose in terms of credibility if they jumped the gun about opening early.

... latest and greatest as of this morning (Thursday). Sounds like Z is more on with the first weekend of Nov. than APD and this weekend.

"Hi Xover
Snowbird's opening date is still being decided. With a big storm in the forecast, Snowbird could open one week to two weeks earlier than the original November 20th date. Please check the website snowbird.com by Friday and the opening date should be posted by then.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

i'm going up today and will take a look at the mountain, from the access road, to see if they have any of the usual ropes and signs up. this depends on the vis, but i may stop in and talk to a few people who have been there for a few decades and that have never misinformed me before.

edit: xover, that sounds likely but i still think they will do a weekend before they open full time.

In my best Cartman voice....." Sweeeeeet".
