- Resort Opening Earlier Than Ever Before -
The 2009-2010 season at the Las Vegas Ski & Snowboard Resort is underway, the earliest the resort has ever been open.
Unseasonably cold nighttime temperatures and aggressive snowmaking efforts have produced snow on Chair Three, Rabbit Peak, the only lift and trail scheduled to open.
“There are many skiers and snowboarders who love to jib on our freestyle terrain features, and we expect many families to take advantage of this great opportunity to learn the sport and have fun so early in the season,” said Base Operations Manager Craig Baldwin.

“We are extremely excited to open over seven weeks early, a record early opening by far. Kudos to our snowmaking crew for making this possible, they deserve a ton of credit,” Baldwin said.
I heard Arapahoe Basin and Loveland both opened this week. Earliest opening in 40 years. Keystone is usually first, so I’m guessing they’ll open next week.
I dug out my ski stuff today. Business is slow, might be time for a nice long drive to the mountains !
How about the largest range in the world?
Yep .. Algore’s fault.
