Re: Opening Day?

Reflecting back 29 October 2016 - Day started with the K1 gondola on hold for most of the morning. We started to hike up the mountain on the chance that the Northridge chair would run. Snowmoblies hauling the lift operators pasted us on Great Northern. Handful of thrilled skiers had the Northridge l...

Re: What trail is this at Killington?

Half the trail is normally groomed as they use the trail to move groomers between the resorts. The snowmobile tour company use that trail to get top of Pico. Hammering snowmobiles around Killington after hours is a blast. Highly recommended.

Ronzoni set up a memorial at the 802 Bus at the cooler concert on Saturday to pay tribute to a 4 legged Killington legend. A true free range dog Buddy has been greeting Killington skiers every mo...

Re: friday 3/24 report

Those skis look short. I use short shaped skis (172cm) for the versatility. I'm 6'1" My buddy is a level 3 and one of the most balanced skiers I know. Ability to mix up skis under various conditions is what I call fun. He was on some 99 DPS Wailers later. Proved that both skis could be submari...

Re: friday 3/24 report

Two inches of r*in crusted fresh at Saddleback in Maine. Enough new snow to make their hand cut glades quite skiable. Great Maine vibe.
