I'm trying to decide between loveland and abasin... Coming in from Texas for just a day, so I want to make it count. Any suggestions...

Kind of far for just a day, eh? Loveland has more trails open and less people. Keystone is opening up this Friday so that can help thin out the crowds a bit at Abasin also.

Yea... I work for an airline and I guess you could say I'm dedicated to the moment moreso than my own financial well-being. I should probably just move, but screw it... Thanks for the feedback. That helps a lot.

Well, let's just say there's a gamble keeping me in Texas for now. Most of texas is definitely pretty much

, but Austin and my friends who live there are so awesome that even with a long 3 hour drive from Dallas...it makes the state bearable.

Fuck Texas. Side note go to Loveland best coverage around.

Anyone have an idea of how much of Copper should be open tomorrow? Was thinking of heading up tomorrow or saturday. Going to hit Loveland next week for the demos.

Copper generally has the American Eagle and the Excelerator lift running for their opening day. It's generally just one run top to bottom. With the recent snows, they might have a little extra open, but I doubt it.

Are resorts opening up earlier this year than last?
