It appears as though Loveland blew snow last night (just to say they could on the day they set out to, given the size of the piles)...Nothing at A-Basin yet (and rightly so; still, I love the crispness of the fall air in Frisco)

Not much accumulated but it was snowing fairly hard on me yesterday on Kebler Pass just west of Crested Butte. The clouds were too low to be able to tell if the mountain got much though.

Theres a place for all of God's creatures, right next to the mashed potatoes.
"You could say that a mountain is alot like a woman, once you think you know every inch of her and you're about to dip your skis into some soft, deep powder...Bam, you've got two broken legs, cracked ribs and you pay your $20 just to let her punch your lift ticket all over again"

Such a dubious claim and on man made snow. Check the Timberline Lodge Ski Area website they were open last weekend, and the weekend before. They are still skiing on last years snow. Maybe they can claim the first area open in the four corners states.

"Maybe there is no Heaven. Or maybe this is all pure gibberish—a product of the demented imagination of a lazy drunken hillbilly with a heart full of hate who has found a way to live out where the real winds blow—to sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whisky, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love and not getting arrested . . . Res ipsa loquitur (it speaks for it self). Let the good times roll." HT

I agree with that. A-Basins says that they boast the longest season also. Timberline hardly ever closes!!
