k was surprisingly good today - after first impression suggested icy hardpack dominsated day
in spite of very firm base, plenty of soft bumps and trail edges to make for a fine, fine time.
sun finally came out in time for the walk back up to top of gondi.Attachment 476023
How does the snowmaking look towards the base not superstar? Any chance for sking to the gondi Weds/Thurs?Quote:

discussions on killington zone point to possible t2b weds.
they appear to be hiitting trails needed to get to bottom.
Hot damn. Great to seeQuote:

I think early season is the new late season for corporate bean counters in New England its only going to be customers who have already bought season passes so best to just not open. At least at Killington its their 'thing' to open early.
VT ski I'll take those bottom bacon. Tree graphic
You got it, PM'dQuote:

Bummer. Hopefully Loon opens for thanksgiving weekend so I can make some turns with the family. Stick season so long!Quote:

Good luck on the WROD, sharpen you edges, and keep your stick on the ice. Ski safe all!
I forgot how long the walk of shame back to the Gondola was at Killington. Great to be out but northridge gets old quick. There used to be better early season mountains but they've lost interest in opening ASAP under vail ownership. I guess with Superstar and FIS being #1 priority over customers it will take a serious early coldsnap for Killington to not suck pre Thanksgiving these days. There were some good Novembers in the past though.
Wildcat was so perfect right before those cnuts bought it for early season WROD turns.
skied at Sunday River today. I was surprised to find pretty good snow conditions for Nov. 15
Anyone know if the sherbie is in at tux?
