Ovation was amazing this week, some trees to mess around in

Downdraft yesterday was really nice, was at top of sky peak gondola shut down after 3 cabins behind us, we could hear thunder , skied super star on way to car saw lighting went into super low tuck thought about my damn poles and grabbed them bye the straps and let them drag behind,

Ha. About ten years ago I watched a thunder and lightning show roll in from the safety of the K1 deck with a beer in my hand, with lifts still spinning, and thought, there but the grace of god. Poor souls.

I recently heard about the surfer who was killed bye lightning/ I parked at Vale lot just above Ramshead so it was a bit of a go, ghosts town on way down like everyone else got the memo , should be a nice afternoon though

Excellent day at Killington yesterday. Crispy before about 930, then it began to soften up nicely. Clouds for an hour or so about noon kept it from getting too soft. Skye Peak quad, the gondola, Needles Eye, North Ridge, Superstar and the Snowdon 6 pack were all running, with top to bottom cover and only a few avoidable bare spots. It's amazing how much more snow is up there compared to Gore.

Are there bumps in the usual places?

 

[Milo Maltbie]

Superstar was groomed flat. Not enough traffic to bump anything up very quickly, but there were some bumps around.

Nice. Damnit, should be up there. Amazing that they are doing so much grooming and spinning so many chairs at this date.

Yeah, if only Gore could rise up a few thousand feet. Always a much shorter Spring.
