Wed. Report

[UVSHTSTRM]

The 57" that fell was at the top of Jordan Peak. Lower elevations got much less since it mixed with r*in. Sugarloaf was the place to be.

Not what the website said. It said 57 inches of snow. It didn't say "57 inches of snow at one spot somewhere on a distant peak." It clearly stated that Sunday River had gotten 57 inches of snow. That's why I love the place. Honesty in snow reporting at its finest. I just wish it was closer. I'd ski there way before I'd ski at K or Mad River. It's just too long a drive, but Sunday River is the mecca of east coast skiing. It actually rivals many places out west as well in terms of natural snowfall, vertical, and difficulty of terrain. I'd take Sunday River over Jackson, Snowbird, and Telluride 8 days a week. Nothing compares to the mighty Sunday River. Nothing!!

I will admit I am not a huge Someday Bigger fan, but I am not sure somebody who's ski's K should be dissing Someday Bigger. I mean Most of Killington ski's just about the same from a vertical standpoint. It's not like Killington minus a few trails skis the vertical they claim, also I am sure Killington never lies about there snow totals.....I have been there so many times when they had to be getting there measurements from the snow off the roof of one of their lodges. Honestly, Killington often I am sure gives the snow total of whatever part of the mountain that has the most correct? If not how bout they start reporting from route 4? What 100 inches maybe? Oh and IMHO opinion I really don't find anything that difficult at Killington, or at least nothing I would be slaming another resort over.

Yes, Killington has much better glades due to more snow, can't disagree there and I am sure the backcountry is much better then anything Sunday River has to offer.

Stop calling it Someday Bigger. That's not nice. Sunday River rules!!! The mecca of east coast skiing. They also have that AMAZING new lift that's 1/2 gondola and 1/2 chairlift. I wish I lived closer to Sunday River. The place is awesome.

Too sunny and the snow was too soft. There were hardly any people and no lift lines. It was too warm and the bumps were way to soft. Maybe if K-Zone complains some more Killington will do something about it.

Did you look like a "G" when you fall of rails?

You get a new outfit at the local goodwill yet?

I couldn't even ski to the park to look like a G. There were moguls and stuff, I can't ski that. I wish there was a rail at the bottom I could just walk to that involved no real skiing to get to.

You should put more effort in trying to develop your brain instead of pretending to be a rail G.

I think your sarcasm meter might be broken.

edit: I'm not sure where my post went but I was meaning to say... "I think your sarcasm meter might be broken."

Not to go off-topic here, but I've noticed many snowboarders sitting after a jump (well, not a park jump, but something like a lip-jump) holding their heads in their hands, or lying a lot longer than expected . . . are boarders trying more height and not handling landings well . . . just curious - I've really seen it more and more this season . . .

haha I've only had one message conversation with TWA once but it was very pleasant. Him and i probably both read the forum for the same reason, it is by far the best source of info about killington you can get besides actually being there. I am a 22 year old guy who grew up skiing a ton of park. I don't ski as much anymore mainly because i dont want to get injured and mess up the other sports i participate in, but if somebody gets the most enjoyment out of skiing park, whats wrong with it? Some of the most fun i have on the mountain is the superpipe, especially when the snow isn't amazing on other parts of the mountain and in the trees. I should be at big K this saturday as soon as i finish up my finals, so see you out there and enjoy the spring skiing whichever way you want!
