I have no idea what the last option means, so that's why I voted for it.

Huh?
What does it matter how many trails it has?It would be ok to open early if it only had 30 trails?Talk about splitting hairs.Any skier that would consider going this early in the season certainly would understand the skiing will be marginal.Major props to SR for cranking the jones meter up high so early.

It doesnt "matter" we report, thats what we do, we were just doing our jobs, as SR did theirs by opening

Worth noting that that is not the lift that you'd be skiing back to with top 2 bottom. The Chondola probably won't see any traffic until mid-november if opening strategies are similar to the past few years (might change though as this is the first year they've had the chondola early eason).

Most of us don't consider South ridge an area to ski much. Top to botton on Locke is what had been discussed in multiple threads.
On the the Web cam this morning you could see the snow being made on lower punch.
Many of us have not skied or ridden many days in October.
The 90's had some Oct days. I made oct 31 the last two years and that is it.
I am not sure what you are use to in October. My expectations are minimal. I am glad to be out.

that is true, it would be the locke triple, but they only have a cam on this one, I was only showing that that was the extent of the snow coverage for the lower mountain

BobR didn't say anything to suggest that South Ridge would be open...so why throw up a cam shot of south ridge to debunk his prophecy? You sound pretty petty and disgruntled for someone who went skiing yesterday.
I've skied T2 to midstation early season for a bunch of years...and for my first day out, I'll get 10-12 runs max and the worst its ever been is "good" Complaining about downloading...c'mon, relax just a bit and enjoy the view, its OCTOBER.
Middle of October skiing is like sex and pizza, even when it's bad it's still pretty good.

Better make mine a Mushroom Pizza, and a hot long legged blonde, the auto road down to the 4 mile marker the other day (13th) with a foot of powder was INSANE
lol
Have to watch out for snowcoaches tho
So you're attempting to illustrate your point by a a webcam of an area that won't open until around Thanksgiving?

You have to move it around, just over the first tower. You can see the bottom of lower Punch. The guns seems to be shut off know, but they were running am today.
If you look at the poll most are happy they are open.

If you don't like it don't go! WROD skiing is not for everyone. Lines, downloading, limited visibility, limited terrain, thin cover, etc. But it is October 15th! What do you expect? I will be there tomorrow and Saturday and loving every minute of it. The first day of the season for me is always pure bliss. Not perfect skiing, but it's skiing! After a long off season I have a blast every time. Personally I am grateful that I will be skiing over a month before most areas even think of firing up the guns. Too early? No such thing.
Thank you Sunday River! And to all those who say this is a waste of money for the mountain, this seals the deal for me and many other season pass holders.

Sunday just went from 'no chance in hell' to 80% likelihood of me making turns on T2... I'm pumped.
