Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

The US ski season began Friday 14 October ... ... reports from Loveland, Colorado

This thread's been re-headed and updated to mark Loveland's opening
------------------------------------------------
The high-altitude ski area of Loveland, Colorado, opens for business today, following a substantial recent snowstorm. This is reportedly the sixth consecutive year in which Loveland has beaten all other US resorts to 'start the season' and run continuously for the winter.

Loveland's ski area is situated between 3230m and 3965m in altitude, which gives it a head start in catching early snow. Depths are currently 45cm to 50cm. One chairlift with a vertical of 300m will serve skiers on opening day.

This report from COskiing.com

This snowHeads thread covers the build-up to the 2005-6 season in Colorado.

Only 45-50cm? I thought Colorado just got like 4 feet of snow . . .
Here's a link to some people boarding some pretty sweet looking powder up on Keystone (accessed by snowmobiles, not lifts).

Edit: forgot the link Confused

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

The figure of 45cm to 50cm is converted from the quote of Loveland's marketing director, extracted from the link above:
Quote:
The minimum snow base will vary between 18 and 21 inches.

I guess he's a commendably honest marketing director! Breckenridge seems to have done better, but maybe (for commercial/technical) reasons they don't want to open yet.

Tom Winter reports for Freeskier: "And then there was skiing". He was at the car park at 7.30am to get quotes - a rare scribe!
