Killington Conditions

Was a bit messy over there, but the Bear Quad was already on wind hold when the pipe burst. Not sure if they would have gotten that lift open if it hadn’t, but there wasn’t much of a line to speak of on the SkyePeak lift. Lift lines around the mountain yesterday weren’t bad, didn’t wait much more than 5 anywhere. People said lines Saturday were terrible.

Conditions were pretty good yesterday on groomed trails. Even skied some ungroomed natural trails that weren’t horrible. The predominant sound yesterday was…..silence. While there were certainly icy bumps and scratchy trails that didn’t see the groomer, most trails really didn’t get skied off and scratchy. Started snowing around 11 maybe, never really stopped. Couple inches by days end.

They are still pounding snow around the mountain. Guns blazing on Outer Limits made for some great soft skied in gun pow, wall to wall. I spent most of the day tootling around to get a feel for the place, hitting all major mountain areas. Looks like the place could be a lot of fun in really good conditions. Didn’t venture into the woods yesterday, but saw lots of tempting lines.

Is this your first time at Killington? That’s surprising

Yup. Handful of VT resorts I haven’t skied and that was one of them. Back in the day it was Sugarbush/Mad River, Stowe/Bromley, Stowe, Snow, Okemo…..but never the Beast.

Wow. There’s a lot to explore. The Canyon Quad should probably be your focus if you don’t have much time
 
They’re great for early/late season but, like you observed, when everything is covered, the place is really great. Something for everybody, lots of nooks & corners to hide from the crowds…
