thursday 5/2 report

after a couple days out of town, the sun found her way home this morning. downright balmy at the bell. place was empty. so much so that at times had trails to myself. at the bell supe was a creamy delight. within an hour, the bumps softened and were nicely skied in. if rotd has any meaning at this p...

Re: Superstar chair

Funny…when we lived at Pico we skied over, went under the Ram’s tunnel, took the Snowshed chair to the Superstar chair and straight into Bear to meet friends there for lunch. Ironically the interconnect is there and usable in that direction. Gotta get the bus back from snowshed though. if you start...

Re: Superstar chair

The constant arguments about an interconnect are pretty hysterical in this context. Pico is open at best from end of December to the first weekend in April and we have seen that season as short at 1/6-3/15 in recent memory. In addition the interconnect itself is only viable on natural snow for mayb...

wednesday 5/1 report

Re: May Day Fun Slalom 2024

no mention. not on the event calendar. seems like it's been a few years since they held it. at one point, they used to give a day ticket good for early season for entering, then they stopped doing that and so did the number of participants so bye bye. no drip this morning but the mtn's buried under ...

Re: Preston's pitch?

Thanks Skiadikt, I think I understand that description. So if I understand, it's where middle ovation ends right before lower ovation where you ski out to the right to get to S.S. From there to the bottom is P.P. I always thought it was the section to skiers left towards the bottom that's usually r...

tuesday 4/30 report

according to the snow report, the superstar lift is on a weather hold with no time estimate, probably due to thunderstorms in the area. was getting ready to leave for the mtn when it started pouring. think i'll be sitting today out. does look like the weather clears out shortly.

Re: Preston's pitch?

it's the lower steep section of superstar that starts just after the middle ovation exit. and yeah, the world cup broadcasters to provide color for their commentary referred to it as "preston's pitch" named after killington founder - preston pitch. probably some producer or writer came up ...

Re: monday 4/29 report

wow looks like things cleared up. probably a great afternoon. too bad i got so wet this morning.

on trails like lower lark & upper bitter, the amount of snow melt was amazing. with nites not getting below 40 for at least the next week, very unfriendly for the longevity of the snowpack.

Re: Superstar chair

They got the acreage banked for a new lift line for sure... thinking something like this? it better not infringe on my beloved old supe :D . it can't be too far over towards the lodge or else it'll be difficult for folks coming from lark, bitter, etc to make the lift w/o much poleing. the umbrella ...

Re: Superstar chair

From K's perspective, seems to me Superstar is the obvious choice by process of elimination. They probably don't want to replace the Ramshead or Snowshed lifts because the village construction. As discussed in other threads, I really don't see them investing much in the Skyship because the ROI is n...

monday 4/29 report

early sunshine that was quickly overrun by clouds and later by some dripping. warm at the open under the sun. cooler when i left around 11:45 once my hawaiian shirt had taken on too much water and the goggle swiping became too much of an annoyance. looks like it's dry now. just a great morning. open...
