Oh baby!  They fired up the snowmaking machines in Vail late last night.  We could hear them down here at the Antlers.  They’ll be blowing snow on Born Free for the next week or so, in anticipation of Vail’s opening day (November 21st).  Typically Born Free Express opens first, followed by the Gondola.  Hopefully, mother nature will provide some opening assistance with a blast of cold air and snow on Tuesday/Wednesday.
