Fast idiots

I watched two skiers come over the lip of mousetrap so fast that they were in the air for what seemed like a couple of seconds. It was pure luck that the landing was not littered with tailskidders. They were good skiers who should know better. Maybe the mountain needs a camera over there so at least...

Who got 100 days.

Wondering how many people got 100 days before the shutdown. I know of a handful.

I hit 93 the day before shutdown.

Re: access road closed!

The optimal policy would prevent people from traveling from outside to the mountain but allow local access consist with the state recommendation to exercise within 10 miles of your home. The mountain achieved exactly that goal until just now. As for the worry about overtaxing medical resources note ...

Quote of the day

Riding the bubble today with a group who were debating how much it sucked that so many lifts were down. Guy at the far end laid down the closer: "Well it's skiing, not Disneyworld".

Ttb

Top to bottom. Nothing like performance to silence the chattering critics. Reminds me of TR who cheered the man in the arena who dared great things and disdained the critics who chattered from the sidelines. Mike and the snowmakers are in the arena. Well done.

No Hat... Drat... and skier visits theories

Cleared the 100 day hurdle today (mogul city blanketed with snowball snow). Nick from Rutland then let me know K was out of hats. They ordered 200 which seemed like a safe cushion after last year’s 156. I got put on the stragglers list along with two other late achievers (so far). On the drive home ...

False. At 95 days and counting I care a lot.

6 inches Sunday night... lifts spin on Monday?

What's the chance K spins lifts on Monday if they get 6 inches Sunday night? Anyone else still checking the snow forecast?

Re: May 2-4 Underpromise? On the 100 day bubble

Pretty sure I am on the first team in the one category that nobody wants to be good at: Drive to the Hill = 5.5 hours ( if everything goes perfect).

Re: May 2-4 Underpromise? On the 100 day bubble

So first I learn that a 100 day season just gets you on the JV squad. Five consecutive 100 day seasons before you get a varsity letter (100 day club pass) and > 1500 lifetime to get on the starting unit. And then there is this guy. https://www.adn.com/sports/2017/04/15/nonstop-skier-gary-mashburn-is...

May 2-4 Underpromise? On the 100 day bubble

Question about the history of operations after May 1. Is Killington's statement about going to fri-sun operations after May 1 possibly an instance of under-promising? Has the mountain ever stayed open the full first week of May, even after stating weekends only after May 1. I am on the bubble for my...

Re: How many days have you skied/ridden in the 2016-2017 sea

84 and on the way to my first 100 day season. Still have to break the news to the fam that this means skiing the full Easter holiday and that means Skipping Easter dinner at the in-laws. They will never understand why I would forego honeyham and their sparkling conversation in pursuit of a silly hat...

Re: Killington - make with the BLACKOUT PASS or GTFO.

What are the total ski days at those other mountains? Killington seems to offer more days on snow generally and is pushing harder in that direction.
