Bucket has been keeping it real, showing up in the midweek mist.:yourock:

That Manny coverage looks great, might run up there this week if the weather is nice.

Not so bad today on our one option

A couple of cats farmed snow off Fling yesterday morning for 3 hours to fill in the runout. Alas the 3 1/2" of rain and strong wind took it away.

Nice job keeping sliding on snow!

The Ikon is only for lift rides with no bike allowed, additional pass required for the worst lift served mtb in VT. There was no preventative maintenance done at all last year and a bunch of the trails look like this, watched this erode over the summer looping through on the gravel bike. Don't forget if you use the pass for even one summer lift ride it can no longer be deferred.

Nice day of skiing the superstars got fucked up by a short period of pounding rain followed by some fucking asshole stealing my skis. So if you guys are out and about and around the Killington area please keep an eye open for these skis....

Praxis MVP 193 long and 110 wide.... mounted with some shitty white marker griffon demos.

Yep, thieves suck. Dickpunches for the culprit.

Wow, suckage for sure.
Skied 6+ hours of bumps yesterday and got 4 in today before leaving just as the rain came. Killington groomers do an outstanding job keeping the mountain in good shape, but groomed turns to bump city in a couple of hours. Legs are toast. Stopped on the thruway for a pee break and felt really old getting out of the car. Gotta see mom next weekend so I'm hoping the conditions make it worthwhile the following weekend.

Sucks m2711c for sure. Hope they find their way home.

I think the fat lady has sung. Could hike almost to the top and could ride to the bottom. Headed to the north woods with the wife dog and canoe next to torment trout.

Sugarloaf yesterday

Fuck that bites.

We were at K on Saturday celebrating our friend Duck on his 70th.

On his 60th he'd vowed to ski bumps until he was 70, and delivered on that like a boss.

shooting for 75

Awesome day. In the am when the sun wasn't out there was enough new snow to turn in the bumps too.

nice work gentlemen!

after skiing well-soaked for parts of 3 of 4 last 4 days at K, that's a nice sight (was that actually today?) and stein's: wow, the bush could have stayed open and run shuttles back to the chair (like the flatbeds they run at the lots at bromley).
