Killington Conditions

Surprise opening of South Ridge today:

It's not Utah but it was really good. This is probably the earliest this lift has ever operated.

10 inches skis like a lot more when there has been zero natural snow for a month. Great skiing today. Some natural trails like Cascade Headwall stayed good all day, and Outer Limits made its season debut under the guns.

Yeehaw! About damn time!

Not wanting to jinx it but we seem to be in a better weather pattern. Maybe the second half of the season makes up for a lackluster first half? Only time will tell.

First time at Killington today. Snow was perfect. Visibility was shit. Grabbed a few runs up top early and then stayed below the fog/mist rest of the day. This place is incredible. Too far for me for day trip but definitely getting the pass next year and I’ll figure out the rest later. Anyone know when the Spring Pass typically goes on sale? I’m assuming March 15 or thereabouts?

Bud man told me that, conditions getting better, Thursday after Wednesdays storm event should be sweet.

Last night's predicted 8-12 a total dud. Warmed up enough for rain to wet snow early morning, and now whatever cream cheese on ice out there is freezing into marbles. The weekend will be cold and fast. Have fun!

You're the most negative person ever. They just gained snowpack, and they'll groom everything they can for the weekend. It'll be fine.

Am i sensing a more mature attitude?

Were you even there today, lift expert who skis? What are you talking about? Yesterday morning they were talking about 8-12 in the Greens. Jack***t this morning. We went up to the top and had a horrendous experience breaking through crust covered whales on High Traverse with zero visibility. The only enjoyable experience was Spring like conditions on cream cheese on Bear before quickly dropping temps turned even that to ball bearings over ice. But, hey, it was skiing, so, whatever.
Yeah, they'll groom everything for the weekend, and I wont be there. Thank god.

Dont be a dork.
