Killington Conditions

I just pulled the plug on my K ton trip for this weekend based on the iffy forecast for the prospect of spring bumps. I did the same last weekend too due to the rain and fog prospects (I hate rain skiing). May have missed out on some good skiing but tough to justify driving 8 hours and $400 on lodging for a weekend for bleh skiing. Really haven't had great spring skiing weather on the weekend last couple weeks and I'm in a position I can't swing taking weekdays off to get at the nice spring days.

That being said, next couple weekends hopefully weather will provide a window to get out to K and get some nice spring bumps in. Hopefully on more than just Superstar should spring pump the breaks a little bit
 
That's part of the issue for us as well. We do not ski bumps or expert terrain. We prefer blue and green cruisers. We will have to hit Killington earlier in the season next year if we want to try it under winter conditions
 
Passed Killington yesterday on my way driving north in Vermont. It was an ugly day and an ugly drive from a skiing POV.

Or a garbage bag!

Not unlike soccer (a good slide tackle on a wet field is a wonderful thing!)….the skiing surface in the rain can be a lot of fun.

Been there. Done that. The thing that annoys me most is the lack of visibility and constantly trying to keep goggles clear enough to see out of. Even if not raining constantly it's normally socked in.

I can fly IFR better than ski IFR, especially moguls.
