Several places have been blowing out their snow guns... and there's been some actual snow in Tahoe, Colorado, and the upper midwest (at least). So it seemed like a good time to start a "who will be the first to open" thread.
Last year I believe it was Wolf Creek, with A-Basin on their heels.
OnTheSnow.com is projecting Keystone and A-Basin to be about the same time (Oct. 21-22, which seems very optimistic right now).
So who do you think it will be this year, and when?
Could Wolf Creek take it again? Keystone, Loveland, or A-Basin? Someplace in the mid-west again (it was Wild Mountain a couple of years ago)? Could Killington get a cold spell and do it?
The usual "rule" is that they have to stay open for the season, not just manage a one day opening, only to close again. (Also... this means open to the public, not just for race training.) EDIT: Also, also... indoor doesn't count.
