Finally, it is here. We will be opening for the 2010-11 Season Monday, October 25. We had a better than expected night snowmaking. I also just brushed 7" of snow off the new snow stake. Tim, Mark, and I just walked the trail. Looking good. We look forward to good snowmaking Saturday and Sunday nights. The cats will be all over the trail Sunday getting it ready. October sure seemed to drag on with all that miserable and beautiful weather, but winter is roaring at Arapahoe Basin right now. With good streamflows, a nearly full reservoir, and a cold forecast, I expect we will be expanding terrain rapidly.
My friends over at Loveland have also been cranking away. They are going to open tomorrow, Sunday. My hat is off to them. I encourage you to loosen up and make a few turns at Loveland on Sunday and be ready to rip it up at The Basin on Monday. Thanks for all your patience. Let the fun begin.
