the mtn is certainly being proactive. not complaining. about the only people who'll be out are the perfect attendance folks. tomorrow looks particularly brutal. here's the forecast at 3400':

A chance of flurries between 9am and 11am. Areas of blowing snow before 10am. Mostly sunny and cold, with a temperature falling to around -18 by 5pm. Wind chill values as low as -53. Windy, with a northwest wind 32 to 36 mph.

Friday Night
A chance of flurries between midnight and 1am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around -24. Wind chill values as low as -64. Very windy, with a northwest wind 43 to 45 mph.

Sunday River is operating a minimum of lifts so they can utilize the extra lift crews to spell the operators and get them warm. I bet that is Killington's modus operandi also. Be kind to the lifties, as it will be cold as hell standing there smiling at you as you get onto the lifts.

stratton is closing their upper mtn lifts and the sun bowl, running 4 lifts on the lower mtn. i'm sure we'll see other areas follow suit in the morning.

I've always considered Ramshead, Canyon, and South Ridge to be the coldest lifts at Killington. Do you think otherwise?

Agreed 100%

I think whatever lift I am on and cold at that time is the coldest lift at Killington lol. That said, it really all depends on where the sun is, what the wind is doing and what angle and exposure. You can make generalizations but it's hard to really nail something down as "the coldest lift" unless we're talking about something like the Summit Quad or Heaven's Gate at the Bush.

Current conditions on top of the rock pile and they are saying possibility of a new record low.

So this could be some serious cold.

Well that's your opinion, but most would agree that the coldest lifts at K are ramshead, south ridge and canyon.

Not fit for man or beast.

this whole bidness brings back a very fond tyrolean memory from the wayback machine. was a frigid, very windy saturday and think the only lifts turning were snowshed, maybe the bmq and ole reliable - the snowdon quad. no one else in my ski house went out. place was a ghost town. maybe a couple inches and wind refresh every run. we (and her best friend) hit every run we could from the quad spending most of the day in the snowdon trees before they were on the map. was difficult to ski flush or the toilet because the wind held you up and it was so friggin cold on the runout. truly an epic day. god bless ty. no one more core.
