Loveland may have won the race this year with their opening, but A-Basin is starting up their lifts just two days later on Friday, October 9th, 2009 – their earliest opening day on record.

For all your jib junkies, from the sounds of it, A-Basin is going to be the place to be. Their park crew has been putting in the hours to make sure their opening day park is the best yet, including four new features will be installed the first day: a Flat-Down single barrel, a Picnic table, a new Culvert tap, and a small box.

If you’re looking for a place to stay in Summit County between Oct 16-23rd – Arapahoe Inn is offering rooms for $13.99. Single occupancy or double or quad. They’ll go fast, so book now… http://www.arapahoebasin.com/ABasin/tickets/hot-deals/lodging.aspx#arapahoeinn
