A-Basin has been routinely beating them recently. Their run is significantly shorter.

Yes based on what I see on the CAM, what Al wrote, and what the forecast models look like, I'd say next week.

Warmed up so much that it snowed like gang busters at Loveland and A Basin! I Like it. Plus there must have been lots of white mice at Loveland and A Basin.

I hate articles like this! While I agree about their October picks - I do think Killington should have been mentioned.

They were mentioned at October 28th. Crap list, no way Sunday River doesn't open until November 25th this year. Must be based on opening dates last year.

Yup my bad - what is with the targeted date. They should say mid to late October instead. Once Killington commits they go like gang busters.

Like I said, this list seems to just post last year's opening dates. Sunday River opened late November due to Locke being down for overhaul early season. That won't be the case this year, yet they were tagged with a Nov. 25th opening. Crap.

Sunday River confirmed on the community board they will be opening ASAP on upper Locke this season. Ski's date they posted for SR was not from the resort.

You second question is point on. Killington does that the smart way. Line up the guns and when cold hit flip the switch sorta speak.

I bet the guns are ready to go on Superstar as well, with the World Cup coming up.

I am liking my move to Southern Oregon! Can't wait for Mt Ashland to open but this sounds like the next best thing.
