am I reading the trail map correctly? no snowmaking?
I see trails that have HAD snowmaking but none that claim snowmaking at present. Don't you go to Killington at this time of year to ski in fresh under the guns?
Re: am I reading the trail map correctly? no snowmaking?
To make for a more enjoyable product, they turn the guns off on open trails so you will not get wet and / or run into obstacles. They are saving you from yourself.

With limited terrain open, turning them off is the way to go.

Re: am I reading the trail map correctly? no snowmaking?
It's probably too warm to make snow right now anyway, but this season... don't you think people would give them the benefit of the doubt for trying to make snow whenever possible?

Just got off the hill from some early morning turns. Temps getting warm. Lots of humidity in air. Probably could not make snow at this point if they tried.
Upper trails nice and soft. Run out back to K1 rock hard. Should stand up to weather forecasted for tonight and thur. Get out today if you can. Worth an hour or two.

People. It's 50 degrees outside. Take it from a local. You can't make snow when it is this warm. Get pissed at Mother Nature - The Beast can't do anything about her moods.
Re: am I reading the trail map correctly? no snowmaking?
would it be worth driving 3 hours up friday night to ski saturday? I only ask cuz i have to buy a lift ticket, and dont want to drop the $ unless its worth skiing all day.

Re: am I reading the trail map correctly? no snowmaking?
Too warm to make snow.
Snowmakers were probably sent around right before the lifts opened, turned off all the guns, and then sent home to rest up until Fri. night. (Next opportunity to make snow).

Re: am I reading the trail map correctly? no snowmaking?
Last guns to go off were at the bottom between lower bunney and the snowden quad. Had the 3rd gondi car and never skiied under a gun. Yes, to warm, not K's fault.
In my opion snow down low is thin to survive a lot of warm r*in, but only time will tell. Blame mother nature, not K. I think they provided a great ski surface today for such a narrow window to blow snow.

Eh, they were getting to the point where you would've needed wipers on your goggles to ski under them.SkiDork wrote:this post was originally made when temps were OK for snowmaking.Ski Fetish wrote:People.
