Killington has taken care of the problem. It has covered the ice with snow. Here is a picture I took today after I skied it.

is that all the bigger this thing was that people were seriously bitching about for 3 pages? I didn't ski vertigo when I was up, because it was ice moguls covered with a little bit of snow.

The complaint is reasonable, if mildly ridiculous. Kudos to Killington for reading the K-zone and responding to it.

The cone was higher. I think they knocked it down a bit.

Vertigo was skiing great on Saturday. Not sure why it was closed, but happy to ski the soft bumps.

Bump, since hillbilly bangin is so fond of this topic.

Disappointed that they didn't make a flake of snow on Vertigo this year. The Headwall could of used it.

Dear Throbless

Supe is a snow cone. Not an ice cone

Vertigo skied great all year without the manmade crap.

There are no headwalls at Killington.

They tried to blow snow on the headwall this year it just did not stick to the ice and was blown off.
