Today Loveland ski and snowboard area had finally opened. The resort already has an 18inch base which is extraordinary for this time of the year. Which makes me think how do this mountains have so much snow this early in winter? The answer to this question is most of the snow is from strange cold fronts in the Rockies that have brought a ton of snow to the mountains fast and early. Also some of the snow is man made. This also makes me think how much sooner could they open ski areas and how much longer could they stay open? If you think about it if they can make enough snow to have an 18inch base, and if technology keeps advancing they could make more snow more efficiently, to open the resorts faster and keep them open longer.
