If it is not off limits. Won't there be water lines and other stuff laying across the trail too. It is just my opinion, but I would never drive a few hours to ski on just manmade snow.

uhhhhh, we live in new england, the majority of the people on this forum drive a couple hours to ski on manmade every weekend during the winter, including myslelf

I'll be happy to take the man made

generally i agree, but the alternative is winterizing the condo, and you cant beat honest exercise with nature

im going to try earning some turns, its a first and could end up being a disaster, either way ill report the results to AZ

Not begruding anyone's choice to do it. Hell, i admire the determination. I'm just a lazy mofo who'll wait for the lifts to spin.

Depends how you look at it. I'm going up from Jersey, 4.5 hour ride. I'm not looking at it as driving up to VT to go skiing. I'm looking at it as a nice weekend away with my wife, meeting up with friends, getting in some hiking and nice scenery, oh, and skiing back down. While we're up there, what the hell, drop some stuff off at the ski house, drop the skis off at Basin Ski to get em tuned and then drive back. I then have the memory of snow to hold me over until the following weekend

Hmmmm.....IIRC Killington is making a lot more than 200 feet of snow on a trail. More like a couple miles.
