while all that "water injected" WC snow lasted into june last year, it was still a relatively hard surface compared to years past...it remains to be seen as to whether that was a result of the freeze thaw cycle, the spring weather and temps, the WC surface itself or a combination of some or all of those things...

"Off the slope, he says they’ll have more buses and port-a-potties this year as well as additional food trucks and ski industry vendors".

[brownman]

Porta potties are deployed .. in earnest.

Is Killington already set to host next year? I wasn't aware of that...

To help fund this year’s race, the state’s other ski resorts chipped in $50,000 through the Vermont Ski Areas Association. Megnin says other sponsors also stepped up to help defray costs which has helped Killington feel confident about agreeing to host not only this year's World Cup but next year's race as well.

Yes. After last year's successful event, Killington was given the commitment for 2017 and 2018. No word beyond that.

[Sporte]

Yup. After last year they agreed for two more years. What I saw somewhere.

last year NBC live streamed it...

[Dr. NO]

NBC will broadcast GS after it is completed, around 3 PM. I have NBCSP which will not be broadcasting the races. Saw elsewhere NBC has another station which will broadcast the races live or slightly delays, NBCSN (Sports Network). I don't have it. :( SL will broadcast Sunday and begin earlier I believe.
