Vail says snow is coming to mountains

Vail plans to open next Wednesday, though skiers I talked to a Loveland yesterday said the mountain has almost no snow (like most of Colorado.)
That hasn't stopped Vail from sending out a very perky release announcing the start of the season. "We are very confident that with the big drop in temperatures, and indications of a strong shift in the weather pattern that we will open with a very good snow surface next week,” said Bill Jensen, chief operating officer of Vail Mountain in the release. “It appears that the first major winter storm of the season is headed our way next week as well, which is very good news for our Thanksgiving holiday guests who may even experience a powder day.”
