Killington Conditions

[Benny Profane]

I hear ya. That's a long time in present conditions.


But, you should check the Ikon website. Not all Ikon mountains are offering Spring passes with next year's pass, and I think Killington is one.

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

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.

Great day at K yesterday with Milo! To add to his report regarding bumps- OL was bumped but I think we got to Bear too early - didn't see anyone skiing it. Lower steep section of Superstar, far skier's right had bumps. Old Supe had nice bumps but got a bit sketchy just before the cutover to Superstar. Bumps on middle Ovation looked great but we passed based on the "walking required" sign. Found out later that it was only the section that cuts back to Supe just before lower O. Escapade was bumped and was really nice as was Downdraft - especially the middle section! Highline looked like it had some really nice bump lines but somehow we missed that. Things change quickly this time of year but as MM said - there's plenty of snow at K right now especially the North Ridge area and Superstar.

Pass is not good at Killington, only Sugarbush until April 25 in VT.

Killington was really off the charts Friday and Sat. Lots of the mt still open, Bear, Ram's Head, Needles Eye area, Canyon and of course Superstar.

Some connectors are fading fast and I believe some of those areas will be done this week. Awesome, soft bumps all over, OL, Downdraft, Cascade, East Fall all still open, along with Superstar. Warm sun, big soft bumps and even a hot air balloon!

storm is ramping up! I can see about working on a write up while there for this coming week, edit: anyone else interested in writing would be a better choice, writing reminds me of trying to fabricate something in the field a friend who was a motorcycle fabricator can build stuff using his mind, I am more of a paint bye numbers kind of ”writer”
