Hullo people, I'm looking at coming up with a couple of friends for opening weekend this year. Hoping to get up there for the friday and stay till Saturday night.
Is it worthwhile coming up from NJ or is it gonna be silly busy/crappy snow? Getting excited about it,when do you think opening weekend will be?I'm hearing 14th Nov, any chance of it being earlier?
Cheers peoples

Re: Opening weekend
You are probably a troll but here goes: Killington is scheduled to open 11/14 but they have stated that weather permitting they might open earlier. I would suggest you keep checking back here and see what we have to say about the opening.mlsgraham wrote:Hullo people, I'm looking at coming up with a couple of friends for opening weekend this year.

She puts up with more sh!t on this board than most people and still consistently leads the welcoming committee. At least she gave a helpful response.

Re: Opening weekend

Re: Opening weekend
It wasnt busy all season last year. Im not complaining, though I do feel for my freinds who live/work up there. Killington was a ghost town last season compared to seasons past

Re: Opening weekend
Several senarios:
- If Killington opens before Sunday River and Mount Snow, it will be extremely crowded.
- If Killington opens the same weekend as SR and MS, with more terrain and lifts, it will be fairly crowded.
- If Killington opens the same weekend as SR and MS, with less terrain and lifts, it will be moderately crowded.
- If Killington opens after SR and MS, it will not be crowded.
- If Killington doesn't open until Thanksgiving day/weekend, it will be crowded.
Overall, the snow quality on opening day is usually pretty good, unless it gets r*ined on before, like last year.....when they basicly opened in recovery mode. If they are able to make snow right up until the opening, conditions will be excellent.

Re: Opening weekend
Thanks for all the friendly replies!
Definitely going to be coming up 14th and 15th I think so was wanting to know what to expect. No boarding for 6 months is starting to get to me and the fact they've got an indoor slope nearly finished but not quite about 5 miles form my house is pissing me right off.
By the way, what's a troll?
