Watch what they do in the next couple weeks. Last year they impressed the hell out of me early season!

The new tower guns are no joke. Got em set up everywhere now it seems.

Heard they'll add North Peak tomorrow, top to bottom in a few days hopefully.

Looks like they're up to nine trails with North Peak and all of Walking boss.

Glad they got open. The coverage looks to be thin at best though.

^^^^^ Yeah they are playing risky and spreading it thin for sure. They will fill it in fast though. They are right up there for early season snowmaking IMO considering they don't get in till later. I was choosing Loon over sunday river early season last year, it was better for at least a couple weeks. 29 dollar ticket today also

Just had two good SC days in November at Loon! And what's better is that no one is here! There are some thin spots, Grand Junction is kind of a gauntlet at one point, but I am not going to complain seeing that there was no snow on the mountain a week ago, and they have pumped all of this out in a short amount of time! Upper Picked and Bear Claw had full coverage with soft snow you cut right through

Snow making to resume tonight!

Sugarcoat it however you want for your homer K fans, Loon has more open than anyone in NE. They'll flex snowmaking muscle up there with the big boys.

Agreed. Temps look good and they'll remedy that situation by Thanksgiving.

I'm not sugarcoating anything. According to you there is a "situation". Just pointing out how thin the coverage is buddy.

 

[o3jeff]

Their conditions page lists base depth 1-18". For $29 I wouldn't complain.

Haha. OK, "buddy."

"Oh, Loon has more open than K? Uhh...Uhh...but yea, look at how thin the coverage is..."

Just calling it how I see it. Give praise for opening, then an immediate backhanded put-down. It's opening day, of course coverage is going to be thin.
