From the Killington thread :
Sugarloaf hit the jackpot with this early season snow, with 40 inches (see pictures at http://www.sugarloaf.com/daily.html), but you won't see any of the ASC resorts open early. No matter how much snow they get, they lose money this time of year.....if you're a season passholder, they already got your dough; if you're not, well chances are you're not that interested in skiing in October or early November and wouldn't come anyway. Christ, most families still have kids playing soccer ! In my opinion ASC has outgrown the "first to open; last to close" marketing mentality and I think they've got all their mountains on pretty much the same schedules. The reality is they're not going to kill themselves to open 2 weeks early to sell a couple of dozen day tickets.
BTW, my daughter lives at the Loaf and told me the skiing has been great, so get out your skins !!
