Copper opens Sat for race training

The good folks at Copper Mountain have laid down enough snow to open for race training Saturday, Oct. 23 and sent out some photos by Forrest Miller to prove they've got the goods on the hill. The ski area says it will open to the public on Friday, Nov. 5. Aspen and Snowmass are slated to open, as per usual, on Thanksgiving. Soon come, brah, soon come.
