Re: Timing of Killington Forward

Trying to picture spring skiing without the Supe access road. I don't like the picture.

Is that escalator still breaking down all the time? I never go thru the front door of kbl.

The new top station may need to be pretty much where the current one is. They aren't going to put it on Nivis.

Re: Superstar chair

When Hunter replaced the original Sunlite Express they refurbished it, updated the terminals, and moved it to the west side. I think that was done in 1 summer and included replacing the HSQ with the current 6 pack. They removed the quad and installed the six-pack the first summer. The quad parts sa...

Up the Down Launchpad 2024

I am hoping for some fun on canyon runs over the upcoming days. 
I know things will melt fast on the runout, but walking out doesn't bother me.

All recon/info/pics will be appreciated.
