The season is already ramping up. Today Vail Resorts announced an awesome differentiator to the mix of resort offerings (this makes choosing a season pass in Colorado interesting) that can automatically track skier and snowboarder vertical feet skied and days on the mountain:
EpicMix leverages radio frequency (RF) technology installed at each of the Company's 89 lifts across its five mountain resorts and RF chips embedded in the Company's season passes and lift tickets. EpicMix enables guests to share their experiences with family and friends on Facebook and Twitter. EpicMix will recognize special achievements by rewarding guests with collectible digital pins.

If you're curious, yes, you can upgrade your Vail Resorts passes (Summit to Colorado or Epic, Colorado to Epic). I confirmed that you can upgrade even after the pass purchase deadline.
I had opted for the lowest pass this season (Summit Pass: Arapahoe Basin, Keystone, Breckenridge) but had a change in plans (days at Beaver Creek). All I had to do was call the customer support line at 877-204-7881 and press '8' to speak with a representative.

Well, I said I wasn't going to do it this year but I did. Frankly, I'm annoyed with 1) resort websites that don't have their opening day listed front and center (not even CSCUSA) and 2) other websites claiming dates that are flat out incorrect. So, I have hand-verified each of the dates listed below on each resort's official website. If it's not listed, they didn't list it (email me if one is missing).
UPDATE: awesome! CSCUSA has posted the 2009 season dates to their resort pages. Note that the cosnow listing includes non-member resorts (Vail, Keystone, Breckenridge, Beaver Creek).
Here you ...
