    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!

    $39! Do they provide a complimentary sample pack of KY with that lift ticket?

    I wish I could go...had to work today. But I'm there on Thursday!

    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.

    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!

    yeah I'm so using the freebie coupon I got from the snow expo. $39 is way expensive for 8 runs
    For sure, you have to be lost to find a place that can't be found, elseways everyone would know where it was

    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.

    8 Trails. Hmm.. I'll have to see about how I feel after the Beastie Boys on Friday Night since I do have a $10 discount.

    You got me real excited, then I realized it was photoshopped.

    Looks like left is somewhat decent though... http://www.tuckerman.org/photos/tuck...nd%20Chute.JPG
