Killington - 11/19/05

Now that we got that out of the way, we are assured an early opening and good conditions for 11/10/06! Also, here's a TR from Steve's site from his 11/11/04 visit:

That should get you guys pumped!

November 11 is not posted as the expected opening day. I personally don't classify 11/11 as "early" November either. Again, I think anywhere from November 8 on is a possibility...

When I asked/told the wife that I was going she got a little jealous. After I told her what time I had to get up to hitch a ride with Greg and the crew, the jealousy disappeared.

I'm psyched for some early November skiing. But I'm just as psyched to finally meet you characters.

Indeed. Dedication is required. I'm aiming for an 8:30 arrival to KBL.

Ooof. Yeah - let me know. My goal was to leave the Thomaston lot at 5:00 am with Brian and Grassi in tow.

are you trying to talk people into going or out of going? some of the pics in that trip report have me reconsidring! just kidding, i am in pending no issues at work. and i agree, killington has no business labeling their opening "early season" as it is merely the beginning of the season for many areas. this whole 8:30 arrival thing has me confused... i will actually need to leave home by 6:30am to go skiing? does not compute!
