I think they are going above and beyond, running the Cooper's lift. Kudos. Which lifts they have run in the past is meaningless. They could have run just the K1 this weekend, and most of us would have been quite thankful. It will be awesome. Tonight should go below freezing, but I think it will soft...

North ridge quad also will run this wknd

They are open daily thru May 5th. Check the lift ticket sales portal. Easy hack to figure it out. This is also pretty much standard practice when the calendar comes around to it. They weren't going to close just for May 2nd, and they never suggested they would. They have been pretty clear about bei...

I see this on the conditions report. I assume this is the little strip of Skye Hawk below Launch Pad. Will that be a draw for those so inclined? Woodward Mountain Parks Park Crew has completed a hike park up on Skye Hawk, which has four features and is the only open terrain park remaining. Head up ...

As a "former" midweek passer of many years (Spring pass this year), I certainly would not be a happy camper about no Friday. Of course, they could also just allow midweekers next weekend, but they probably won't. They have gotten a little greedier recently in this regard. There were occasi...

first of all, they've left the door open but the chickens haven't come home yet. as i've said, think weather and advanced bookings are gonna be the determining factors. the sooner they announce (if indeed they decide to go ahead and run additional lifts), the better they can market it. we'll see .....

Oh Killington, you do like to play it cute.

As I said, they get to win the game of low expectations.

Which lift (s) should they reopen? Which lift (s) WILL they reopen?

Let the speculation begin!

speaking of the '6weeks early' past, i remember hiking SS on may1 2010 because the early powdr regime closed everything the previous week. we hiked up sky/bitter to wall-to-wall coverage on supe. to add insult to injury, we were harassed after we skiied by k security, who told us we were tresspassi...

In general in the past, they tried to run the K1 gondola till May 1st. In some years, they didn't quite make it, as the very top of Great Northern tends to melt out quickly. As for Snowdon lifts in late April, it has really varied over the years. Before the bubble was installed, they often shut down...

Gnar report - 9:30-3:30 shift (with a bunch of breaks in the car warming up and changing clothes). I arrived at the mostly empty Bay 1 at 9:30 (late for me). By the time I was on snow, the NCP had begun. Mouse Trap was not only ROTD, it was in some ways the only run worth skiing all day. It was one ...

they weren't running the lift on needles were they??

No. Needles.is open down to the crossover.

Thanks!

Based on the trail report, I am assuming that the snowshed crossover is officially open this week to allow skiing on Panic, etc. I look forward to today's report confirming that to be true. Some seasons there isn't enough snow left to allow this. Other seasons there is, but K doesn't want to bother ...

If you were there yesterday (Sunday), you would be thankful (and I am) that they will be running more than one lift (Gondi) this week. They could even shut down the Superstar lift and justify it, based on demand that has completely tanked. I rode the lifts all day yesterday, and never shared one wit...

I would be very surprised if a replacement of the cabins with Diamond 8s like they did on the K1 is not on the list of future projects. Such a list would be fairly meaningless, unless it includes actual funding and planned dates for it to happen. So far, there is ZERO indication that they plan to d...
