I'm due for Vail next tuesday. They're forcasting no snow....

Any Locals out there to give some good advice towards where to ski for the best early season snow?

Not a lot of snow now, but I would expect some dumpage in the next week or so. Loveland and Arapahoe are both pretty good for early season. Usually when Vail opens, it is at least decent. I think UpCruiser has some knowledge of Copper and Winter Park. PM him if he doesn't respond.

I've been out over a dozen times, but our resort (alyeska) will open on 11/26. Allways looking forward to more snow.

we didn't even get snow on Halloween! which is amazing for CO we ALWAYS have snow. as i sit here and type this it's 60* at my house! looks like it's either going to be a dry winter, or we'll just get pounded when it comes...we'll see....

Been up to Loveland a handful of times. They opened their 3rd lift last weekend and have maybe 20% of the terrain open. You can count on about half a day of skiing, all on groomed cruisers. You will be bored in a few hours. We are doing a hut trip on the first weekend of December, it's looking more like a hiking trip at this point... It is a pretty lousy start to the season.

I got an email this morning from Mike Mallet at Vail Resorts with these shots, pretty sweet :) (I work for a dot-com that provides ski lodging throughout the west).

There is a storm mounting here in Park City as we speak, word is it will hit the western slope by afternoon/evening tonight and Crested Butte, Aspen, Snowmass, etc should all get hit pretty hard they're expecting. Unfortunately it was a little weak here and we are still badly in need of snow...
