Take some sandpaper to your favorite rock skis, ’cause the season has arrived. Well, maybe more of a pre-season. Loveland looks to get the jump on A-Basin this year, opening tomorrow, while A-Basin has to settle for Friday.

Scott’s headed up tomorrow for an in-depth investigation of whether the dude in the bunny suit gets first chair.

UPDATE: Vail announced they are now making snow in preparation for the season… which will begin in a mere 45 days. Jeez, if I had 45 days to work with, I could be get a decent base going - in Florida.

UPDATE UPDATE: I’ve been up here at Loveland all morning, and conditions are actually not bad. The coverage is decent, not too many icy patches and, best of all, no line to speak of.

It being a Wednesday morning, though, I’m sure most of Summit County’s skiers and snowboarders are at work….right.

There’s a decent layer of natural snow on the rest of the mountain, and, with some cooperative weather, more terrain could be open soon.

Oh, by the way, frances tolbert, I do believe you are posting your comments to the wrong blog. This is for people who go “out there,” not people who are “out there.”
