Copper already started blowing snow. Read it's for the U.S. ski team so I don't know if they'll be the first to open to the public but they very well may be the first to have lift serviced skiing.

Oops, didn't see the Silverton thread. I guess they win.

Presumably the race is who opens to public first. Silverton won't likely even try to compete in that one with a planned opening in December.
Yes, it is snowing in our mountains as well. The last front brought much colder temps.

I saw coppers Facebook page showing they were blowing snow. I do think that is kind of misleading though, they are not scheduled to open until October 31, damn Cummings at it again

They did this last year too for the US ski team.

After being closed the month of September for annual lift maintenance Timberline is now open for skiing again. Does that count?

I saw that. While I'd definitely ski there if I lived in Oregon, I don't think you can be considered part of the "race" if you don't have to blow a single flake.
