<br><br>Wow! I had no idea they had ever opened that early!  However, I have a memory of skiing Baker in early Nov one year.  I think it was Nov 2, in maybe '94 (?).  Can anyone back me up on this?

<br><br>That sounds about right. We saw the Seattle showing of the Warren Miller movie that year (from memory?: "Black Diamond Rush?"). Warren Miller was there and made a crack about our early season opening. Baker opened mid-week in October. We couldn't make it until the weekend, which by then it was already November. Probably the same as you.<br>
