Thanks for the beta. I was just about to head out - guess I'll rake the lawn instead.

I'm guessing they groomed the trails today?

I'm guessing they did nothing and it got cold and set up like a rock.
The sensual caress of waist deep cold smoke.... glory in skiing virgin snow, in being the first to mark the powder with the signature of their run. ~Tim Cahill

If only they had opened 30 min later, the groomers would have had time to fix it up really nice. </sarcasm>

Skied here ~1800 days. Today was the second worst I have ever seen it.

I'll have to look at old logs to see the year, but there was one time when they had a massive thaw than a late freeze - except the whole mountain was open. At least what ever was groomed the night beforeHighway Star wrote:Ok, I have to ask, what was the worst.....?ozzy wrote:Skied here ~1800 days. Today was the second worst I have ever seen it.
Tomorrow will be better once it gets renovated (forget grooming)

Killington didn't operate that day, but I skied. Skinned up slip sliding around the entire way, and couldn't set an edge on the way down. Skidded from edge to edge on the trails with VERY little traction. I thought high up may have avoided the r*in...i was wrong. Woulda been better off on hockey skates, literally (although skinning may have been tougher).

Re: Warning to those planning to ski today . . .
One of my worst days was the year Powdr shut down and the next day we had a snow storm. Skinned up and enjoyed the bluebird day at the top of SS. After a nice rest, came down the headwall and quickly realized that without grooming, the snow was setup like wet concrete. Really couldn't turn at all. Made it about 1/3 of the way down struggling not to snap a knee when I realized I left my damn pack at the top. Slowly skinned back up, retrieved the pack and tried a different route but found the exact same conditions. About half way down this time, the dog ran into a porcupine with predictably bad results. A quick "pfffft" and her nose was covered with fishhook-like quills requiring a nasty visit to the vet. Finally made it all the way down to the car, walking a fair distance at the end, completely exhausted and humiliated. As a fitting end, I opened the cooler only to discover I forgot to bring the beer.
