Killington Conditions

[snoloco]

I made my first visit to Killington for this summer. I rode the gondola, did some hiking, and rode the mountain coaster and zip line at Snowshed.

Three weeks after the last chair, the last remaining patch of snow succumbed to the changing seasons. It was completely gone just a few hours later.

First time I've ever been to the true summit. Breathtaking views.

It reminded me a lot of the top of Whiteface, with the short, wind battered pine trees.

K1 Lodge Construction is moving right alone. It'll be open for the World Cup on Thanksgiving Weekend.

Sno, we need to get you on a MTB bike..Killington has a pretty sweet park..

I've ridden their bike park before. It's really good. I don't have a downhill bike, so I've always had to rent one. I did get a new mountain bike a couple weeks ago, so I'll try it on some of the easy downhill trails at some point.

What did you get? Ive ridden killington on a 130/130 and had a good time sticking to the flow, however it is much more enjoyable on a DH bike

I have a Specialized Rockhopper Comp. XL frame, 29 inch wheels. Hard tail. I'm sure I could ride it on the easy DH trails. I just haven't done it yet.

I almost had one in '86or7, but liked the ride of the Zebra (Zebrakenko) Ranger better, it had an elliptical chain ring!
Mine was maybe a year or two newer than this one, black with teal graphics!

that might not give you the best ride, but it's not about the bike...as long as your riding it's all good

OK Lance

I had a Rock Hopper late 80s too, but I don't think it was a "Comp?"
