EC Game On!

K-town's email this morning...

KILLINGTON IS OPEN!

6:00 am
11/9/04

The East is open!
Lifts open at 9 a.m. We'll have 8 trails and 2 lifts with 3
miles of terrain. Mini park on Reason trail will be open by
mid-morning. Snowmaking has been underway since the middle of
last week. The last 36 hours have been quite chilly meaning
top quality snow.

Today's terrain is for intermediate and advanced abilities only.
We'll be making snow at every chance to expand terrain. (We're
Killington of course)

Today's rates are $39/Adult, $35/Young Adult, $29/Jr-Sr.

Stay tune to killington.com for updates as the season is
uncorked.

This weekend be sure to catch Deep Banana
Blackout at the K-1 Base kicking off at at 2 p.m. Saturday.

Lots to do as you can imagine so I'm outta here! :)

Come skiing! Come Riding!

seriously, 39 bucks is steep.
That totally justifies buying the all east pass for 4349 or whatever it was.
Im all set for Saturday,last night got my bindings dialed in to my new boots, and my Troublemakers and Bigs got a fresh coat of wax.

But, isn't 39 like half price these days?

Nope, definitely not going.
Saving first turns for the west coast.

This would just be a tease and I'd cry all the way home.

Hey Rightcoast, I'm looking at the littlest Troublemakers they make as my next skis. How do you like them? How do they handle the bulletproof?

I probably will demo some during the season, but would appreciate your feedback on these.

Tanks!

There's no way they have 8 runs. It's one narrow run from top to bottom connected 8 different ways with 15,000 snow guns point directly at your face.

i havent had much a chance to ski real bulletproof with them, i just got then at the end of last season. definately give them a demo, i really love them as an all around ski out here. youd dig them in the trees and for our "pow" days. i have them in a 182.

I might try to make the journey from Maine to K-Mart this Saturday. Only problem is Soul Purpose show the night before in Portland might effect my ability to get up and at em Saturday morning.

Anyone else going to be there Saturday? It could sway my decision to meet and ski with Maggots.
