The race is on, first to open... 2018-19

[TheHitman]

How nutz will the lift line be at A-basin on Friday or Saturday?

Obviously, first thing in the morning it'll be long. But how about an hour or two after they open?

 

[coskigirl]

Probably pretty nuts until at least afternoon on Friday. Probably most of the day Saturday.

I am betting on next Wednesday or Thursday (I'll be out of town).
Who's going to brave the WROD on Friday?
@Blue Streak

Loveland on saturday!

Loveland on saturday!

Do you have inside information?

 

[jmeb]

Do you know something I don't.

F5 reloads webpages?

 

[Blue Streak]

Loveland on saturday!

If it opens, I'll be there.

 

[jmeb]

If it opens, I'll be there.

It's on their website and facebook. That's probably a good indication .

Duh!

 

[Bill Miles]

Don't think I will drive 700 miles to ski one WROD

Of course not: thats why you come Saturday. You have two WROD within 15 minutes of each other.

 

[Kneale Brownson]

I'll wait for the next weekday.

It’s surprisingly fun to ski both on the same day. Lap Loveland until around 1:00 and pile up a bunch of vert and then drive over the pass and join the party at A-Basin as the crowds begin to dwindle.

Loveland is worth it. Conditions should be great.

Wolf Creek for the win unless someone gets all those folks that skied this weekend to agree that it doesn’t count as a new season day until Abasin or Loveland are open.

Stop it .

I also think the Basin will be nuts and probably all weekend. The weather is suppose to be really nice so I'm betting at least some of those Epic Passes will be put to good use. @TheHitman you could head to A Basin mid morning on Fri and ski and then the middle of next June make closing day. Your 1st season in CO you would have opening and closing day covered and Oct. thru June

@nay are you going on Sunday?

 

[Mendieta]

And where is the Tahoe crew praying for St Rose to open on the 26? @ScotsSkier , @Andy Mink , @Tricia , I need a sign!!!!!

Friday morning the line will be past the wooden fence on skiers left.
It will be amazing.
I try to go in the afternoon on Opening Day.

Not bad at all!
This was last year.

I forgot that it was WAAAAAAY past the fence and halfway up High Noon.
