You are all invited! To the Bear Mountain Mogul Challenge Kzone party area.

SATURDAY APRIL 6TH 2024 at Bear Mtn. All day

https://www.killington.com/things-to-do ... -challenge

Looking forward to the 2024 BMMC KZONE Campsite! I still have the KZONE sign and yellow tape from Skidork and will set the site up as soon as the gates open at 6:30 AM. Will tape off the usual area near the Bear lodge deck.

Calling all volunteers to help set up at 6:30 AM and or tear down around 4PM. Really need your help. PM me please.

So bring your tailgating stuff to our site. Tables, grills, coolers and your favorite munchies. I’ll have the shot ski with some lighter mixture.

Music starts at 11:30 until 4:30. Lifts open until 5.
So look for the big KZONE sign and stop by. Hope to meet some of the new members who have joined the board.

Ski you there!

I don't understand what the rush is to close Stage I prior to BMMC. Especially considering they didn't get it open until mid January.
They spent all that money on the lodge, making snow down there twice and just got a lease on life for GE, etc.

I've seen it where they closed it, and then reopened it for BMMC weekend. I hope that will be considered, especially if they get snow next week. They may need the parking. Last Sunday people were parked down Route 4 as far as the eye could see in both directions.

Could be staffing issues. Are the J 1's heading home to warmer climates soon?

I wish they were on the first floor, butt I always used the ones in the basement level. Hopefully after the remodle they will be on the first floor

Something much less than 80 proof. People are welcome to bring what they want in the shot ski, but most just want the Shotski experience instead of getting out of control.
Stop by and we can show you!

The weather's not looking too promising for Sat. I hope to get there but it may be difficult if it's cold and snowy for the drive up. I will be there for the eclipse anyway.

I asked one of the Jamacians today at the bottom of the Blue Bubble and he said they are leaving April 15th.

Weather looking ok for Saturday. 39 and partly sunny.

Skiing around Bear will be awesome. Stop by the campsite and let me know what’s good!
