Snow summit to open lift 1 and 2 for Miracle mile, summit run, and westridge. Cheaps I wouldn`t call that WROD. There snow making capabilities are amazing. I wouldn`t be suprised to see all open runs full width. I think they got a good enough amount of natural for their base.

It’s finally here! An early season storm passed through last weekend and left conditions just right to pump out tons of snow. We’re working around the clock to make sure there will be a deep base and quality snow for you to enjoy, so join us this Wednesday, November 9th, for opening day! Chair 9 accessing Park Run will be open top-to-bottom and stacked with features. So get your boards tuned up and ready to go, we can’t wait to see you this week!

This is off the SS Snow Report posted at 12:19 PM. I think they are putting in a hedge for any other lifts depending on how many people show up:

This is the moment you've all been waiting for... Snow Summit will open for the 2011-12 ski and snowboard season this Thursday, November 10th. We're taking advantage of this cold spell and pounding out the snowmaking. With nearly full-width runs and quality snow, opening day is sure to be a good time! Chair 1 accessing Miracle Mile, and Chair 8 which accesses Bear Bottom Beginner Area will be the first to open with several other favorites following close behind. So wax up those skis and gear up! Get your ski legs back a day early at Bear Mountain which will be opening on Wednesday November 9th! Park run will be open top-to-bottom with park features.

Makes sense Cheaps, Chair one can access miracle mile and summit run so why run 2 if they don`t have a crowd. I just talked to a friend who was in the Vons shopping center parking lot looking up at the mountain. It look very good!

Are you going to be there? Take some pics and post them if you are. Or anybody reading this!

[Freerider]

No, I`m planning on MM opener. But I sure wish I could find out if chair 2 and or 3 will be open at MM.

[Freerider]

Oh yea , and pictures?? i`ll need another tutorial from you.

Considering heading up on Sunday, but a lot's going to depend on how this weekend's storm turns out.
