Loveland Ski Area officially ripped open Colorado’s 2010-2011 season on Sunday, October 24, 2010 and look who was on the first chair: snowboarders, of course. As sometime Colorado local Todd Richards said yesterday on Twitter: “Its officially open season on the white ribbon of death.”
This year’s opening was a little later than last, but it didn’t seem to bother anyone according to the Denver Post:
“It’s been a really strong turnout,” Loveland director of marketing John Sellers said. . . “Everyone’s been saying that the snow’s riding great,” Sellers said. . . . Eight inches of natural snow fell on the slopes in the two days leading up to the opening, making for good conditions on the big day, Sellers said.
Just tempting enough to lure snowboarders out into the trees on those brand new boards. . .
