Re: What....No Bear Sightings?

I saw the bears today on the superstar ovation crossover while I was going up the superstar chair. It was a mother and two cubs, just staring intently at the chair.

Snowdon Triple mid station

What is the intended benefit of this mid station? Is it to get folks to the poma or lower Highline for racing quickly? Something else? I cant imagine there is much of a need for people to lap Mousetrap and it certainly does not help anyone get out of Snowdon.

Re: BeFast Pass

What is so annoying about this is that the only reason for someone who knows the mountain to get one of these is to avoid the SPE line on Saturdays. This is only a problem because Kton has inexplicably dragged its feet all this time on replacing the SRT. As so many people have said in so many posts,...

Re: Ridge Run

They left it that way because Upper West Glade borders on the declining Black Bear Habitat :P It's only considered Most Difficult due to all the people exiting at HIGH speed from Coopers :Toast Coopers?

Re: Ridge Run

Ridge Run so often has one or two enormous ice sheets from some kind of a leak across 90% of the width of the trail that will kill you if you don't know its coming. I don't mean scrapped off snow but frozen water ice. That alone is enough for it to be marked black. It also requires a bit of extra ca...

Re: Day 6... I should know better

thanks for the confirmation that sleeping in today was the way to go. what was nice on a tuesday would be seriously annoying with lines and crowds. i had heard from a liftie that powerline would be early on the expansion list. interesting choice. I sure hope they aren't planning to blow on Power li...

Re: TTB predictions

Does anyone know what kind of wet-bulb Kton waits for to blow at this time of the season. Do they blow in 27 wet-bulb once they already have those first North Ridge trails open or do they wait for 25? 22? Humpty - a wet bulb blowing question here for you? Standard answer: I have a wet bulb in my sh...

It doesn't look like there will be much by the way of snow-making temps at the base elevation until at least next Wednesday, and http://www.snow-forecast.com/resorts/Killington/6day/bot" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; seems to think not even then (which I think is strange as...

Re: The KZone Abbreviation/Acronym Thread (KZAT)

Ok, so I have avoided asking this question for over two years now assuming I would mostly get trollery in response. WTF does NSR mean. The best I can figure from context clues it means something like not skiing related. But that's just a guess. Hey In A RV I, I have felt your pain. FN abbreviations...
