I'll probably end up at Big Boulder for their steezy 50 feet of vert WROD with 2 rails and 2 boxes on it and a million jibhonks to work my way around.

Who else is on board? Now that we're approaching a month out, it's seriously time to start thinking about this.
Zand started this thread in June.....ha ha ha. :lol:
I'm in.
What I responded originally still holds true...
Dude, that sounds like a plan to me!

I heard a rumor they're going to try for Halloween. Not sure how true it is, but I took Haloween off just in case. You can never be too safe for an early opening.... 
If they do open a week or so later, my wife and I will be up there on the weekend. We're to the point where we talk about skiing for a good 30 minutes while making dinner.

I wouldn't doubt they make a run at it. Again, I'm waiting for Chute provided they follow a similar opening plan as last year, hopefully including not grooming Chute. Those spongy soft manmade bumps sound great right about now.
Chute is a must. I can't make that trip for just the front face.
I'm checking their webcams daily. Problem is, the Carinthia one is offline and the summit cam has been stuck on the same image since late summer. I only noticed that after getting back from VT...and all the leaves from the Summit Cam pic were green. "Wait a second..there was folliage up there this weekend!"
I'm hoping to get an e-mail from the e-famous "Luke" proclaiming they're cranking up the snow guns this week.

x2 Especially on the NOT grooming part, provided they are able to blow as nice of snow as they were able to last year...

Agreed. Precisely why I'm willing to "wait and see".
Actually I should revise that statement to; "provided they are able to blow snow at least half as nice as they were able to last year..."
Maybe time has skewed my memory, but I remember that man-made being about as perfect as you hope man-made to be.
I'm having an even harder time than usual keep myself from drooling all over myself today, let alone getting any work done...

Glad to hear your ski jones hasn't cause any abnormalities in your typical behavior, at least.
I'll be at Wildcat. Did you all miss the memo that they will get three plus feet of snow and open in October like they did a few years ago

+1. Gotta have some decent vertical for the effort of driving up and back and the price of gas!

I'm not sure vertical is Pat's primary criteria. I think he would take a dozen bumps over 2K+ of groomed trail.
