Is that a June prediction?
a rock solid base will be nice head start. this could be the year.
It will be interesting to see of what the standalone Superstar snowmaking system consists, and if it will stick around for the foreseeable future for even more potential impact come March...
a qualified source told me there will be 18 add'l compressors powering the old skool guns as well as multiple fan guns...expect the surface to be near bulletproof following the event...

Well, if they blow on Blue Heaven, Bear Trax, and Launch Pad, along with Superstar, right from the get-go along with the usual North Ridge/Stairway to Heaven, it should be a very interesting start to the season. Especially if they are going to throw additional compressors in the equation.

2014 - "A South Ridge trail is Pipe Dream. A South Ridge lift shouldn't be."
2019 - "A South Ridge trail is Pipe Dream. A South Ridge lift (operating midweek) shouldn't be."
2023 - Killington announces that the South Ridge lift will run five days a week.
2024 - Killington lied.
