Looks like Arapahoe Basin is in good position to win the race for first to open. Here’s the latest from Arapahoe Basin’s PR team:

Here are some photos taken this morning from the base of Arapahoe Basin Ski Area. The ski area was the first to open in the nation last ski season on October 13, 2006. The snow guns have been blowing most of the weekend on the High Noon run from mid way to the base area and are making great progress.
