You mean this classic from 2006?




Tucker's video was good early season stoke, I liked the clips of the failed attempts prior to sticking the jump turn. Reminds us that even the less than mortals among us still aren't gods.

This popped up with the SC video - another classic from a fallen Zoner named AndyZ:



I sure wish someone could find Andy's video of Rusty K grass skiing Skyehawk.

I was there. It was hilarious. We we're standing on the edge, saying "Boy is this done", then all of a sudden Rusty takes off, skies over a good 15 feet of grass, rocks, and whatever, goes over a huge mogul and disappears. I mean gone. A bit later a pole pops up, then a ski, and then finally the rest of him. Gotta say Rusty's late season poach of OL, skiing with his pants around his ankles, was also classic. Thankfully, I was uphill from him. Blinded by the white. No pics. But I still have this one. Does anyone even remember why Dork went dumpster diving?

He had to go in there to get the instructions for cooking the ribs that had been wrapped by that plastic wrap.

Videos of folks that are no longer skiing at Killington (except for Stormchaser). Treerat lives in western New York and I believe he skis at Bristol. Mountainman is now having a great time working in Seattle and having fun skiing all the mountains near there. AndyZ left us a few years ago to get some turns in the afterlife. May he rest in peace.

Friday 11/3 pass holder opening day. General public 11/4. Bank on it.

Check out the new Super Star cam. Nice perspective of the hill. Note the four fan guns on lower Preston's Pitch.

Just noticed that as well. The golf course cam has been down for a while.

Superstar quad was running.

From the CAM shot, looks like they removed the little ridge on the trail by Tower 2 that always melted out first in the spring. Will be interesting to see how much that helps this year.
