Awesome stuff guys. I plan on some solo trips on the cheap this year. I'm bookmarking these sites...any other suggestions? Maybe we should make a new thread out of this.

All told, we will open with top-to-bottom skiing served by the K-1 Gondola as soon as we can. I am holding out for sometime during the week of Nov. 6.
The NWS forecast is for an evevation of 3,132 - which is about midway between K-1 Lodge and Killington Peak. So far it has pretty much been dead on:

Thanks, Andyzee. It was indeed vicious up here today. We watched a tree come down, and plenty more were scattered on the roads. There were occasional whiteouts in the Killington parking lot, and the wind through the passes was fierce.

But it did, indeed, snow.
