    Copper terrain guesses anyone?

    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.

    One of those "lifts" will probally be a magic carpet. They include these inorder to pump up their lift open number

    and I think another lift is that POS on the golf course, whateverthefuck it's called.

    Rumor is Eagle, E, and Storm King.
    A lot of people earn their turns. Some just get bigger checks.

    closer to every 5-6.

    I fucking hate Copper, but it's a far better early season option than A-basin or Keystone.

    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?
