On this visit booked three months ago, my brother and I left early but there were pass closures at Loveland and Berthoud, and just before the tunnel we found I-70 closed, so we sat at Georgetown for almost two hours until they opened the highway around 9 am.
Luckily, our patience paid off.
We didn't get on the lift until almost 10, but there was plenty of lightly tracked new snow, and when we made it over to Lift 8 on the far lookers right ten minutes after it opened, things were looking especially nice.
Because I was with my brother, who has now skied four times in his life, Loveland was a good choice with its predominantly intermediate terrain. No in-action pix of yours truly, but here's a brief clip he shot of me on Tickler Gulch, which is more a green than a blue, with barely enough pitch to keep you moving forward in fresh snow. Still, perfect for my brother's first powder turns -- he didn't fall!
