Patrick's Streak, Ski Travel Priorities

[EMSC]

EMSC can tell us if anyone besides Copper is doing this in Colorado.

The other big player for early race lanes is Loveland. In fact they spend so much of their early snowmaking firepower that it has hampered their now long lost attempts at being first for the public. Often the race lane opens down at the Valley before the public run up at the Basin side opens.

In a good (cold) early season others will also get some space open early, but they are getting just the fringes of the big crush of teams (Vail, Eldora, Beaver Creek).

Loveland did before, not sure now. Different terrain that what they open to the public. Avila next to MSS opens for teams prior to opening hill to public.

Oh, just saw EMSC responded.
