Update: Sniagrab is now over for the season. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

Sniagrab 2008 starts Labor Day weekend. If you’re looking for some great deals on gear to start off the season be sure to visit the Sports Castle in downtown Denver (click here for a map) starting August 30, 2008. The Boulder and Colorado Springs locations will also have awesome deals but the Denver store is easily the biggest place to shop. Sports Authority is also one of the many places you can pickup your season pass if you haven’t already.

Winter Park is opening tomorrow morning at 9 AM and both Eldora and Echo Mountain will be open this weekend. These three are local favorites for two very different reasons, Winter Park offers the terrain we call Mary Jane. Eldora and Echo are both close and easy.

A few quick thoughts on the new Gondola at River Run in Keystone. 1) Moving it closer (away from the slope) is nice. 2) The mid-mountain station is great because beginners always struggle with that last chunk of the hill and can down-load. 3) No ‘gear racks’ attached to the cabins, maybe that’s coming soon but its crowded ride (with 8 people). 4) Overall, the gondola is a great improvement to the resort. Click here for a few pictures of the insane lines on opening day.

Discussion on the new Keystone gondola today prompted an interesting bit of trivia: it costs resorts anywhere from $100,000 to $300,000 to make snow for the super pipes (half-pipes) in Colorado.
