I get that the Locke download situation sucks, but I also think Jordan has too much terrain to cover for day 1. Between that, no lodge, crappy parking location and the longer drive over to Jordan, it just makes little sense to me to have the season start over there.

I think if they want to be in the first to open race, they have no choice other than Locke. Gun spacing is far too wide in Jordan for a rapid assault and open, not to mention the length of runs. However, they will pivot once Jordan is ready, put public over there and racers on Locke. But if you saw this morning, they already started making snow on lower DD and AmEx. This season it looks like they will have temps on their side, so a high chance the West and East are linked across Aurora and Spruce by Thanksgiving weekend. That has been the goal since the snow making upgrades have been put in.
