What Colorado Ski Resort Will Be The First To Open In 2012? [POLL]

A picture posted of heavy snow falling at Loveland Ski Area this afternoon begs the question, what Colorado ski area will be the first to turn on their lifts in 2012?

A lovely reminder that the ski and snowboard season is creeping closer and closer with every flake.

Usually this is a race between Loveland and Arapahoe Basin, but last year the earliest opening went to Wolf Creek which opened up on October 8th. (Loveland won the 2010 race and opened on Octboer 24th).

If you bet on A. Basin, you'd be a winner. They will be the first resort to open in Colorado this year!
