Killington Conditions

It's the latest they've made snow in the modern-era, and the biggest the Superstar Glacier has been in the modern-era.
The most I've seen is up to the chairs, so it must be above the chairs?
 
May be peripheral to your point but what would you consider the modern era?
I define the modern era as time since they reverted to the extended season. So that's 2010-2011 for early season, and 2012-2013 for late season.

First 3 were taken on Tuesday. Last 3 were taken on Sunday. Should give a good idea as to the depth. It's above lift level most of the way down.

Rope tow at Lab doesn't have nearly as much vertical as the side of The Beast’s Superstar glacier and isn’t nearly as steep.
There are lakes with less water and not as deep.
 
An unexpected 4 inches in the morning.

Sun came out just in time for the last spring bumps on Outer Limits for the season.

It was also time to bid farewell to two lifts until next winter, one being the Bear Mountain Quad.

The other being Skyeship Stage 2.

Great day today. Highline was the run of the day. One big problem was that Superstar was closed—a groomer broke down on the trail. They did manage to fix the groomer and open the quad at 1:35, but ovation and superstar remained closed, although there was a lot of rope ducking.
 
Since it was the last day for the K1 Gondola, I stuck around at the top for several minutes until everyone was swept out, just to take in the view one last time.

Last run of the season from the peak. I often end my day this way.

Now onto Superstar for the remaining month (or more) of the longest season in the east.

I left earlier than you, but 2 great days of bumping at K Mart. I may be back for some Supe laps since it will make Memorial Weekend and probably into June. Great weekend!
