    How is this Sugarbush skiing compared to Killington? Planning on Sugarbush Friday and Monday but my place is in Killington. Is Castlerock ok, Paradise area? Thanks!

    Ski Resort Response to COVID-19

    My wife and I work from home in Killington. Seems to us that most/all people that visit do the masking and are very careful not to come into 6 ft of anyone. Ski shops have stocked up. Restaurants do a good job of keeping people apart. I think we need Winter to be somewhat normal maybe 50% to...

    Skiing the moguls

    Looking 3 bumps ahead and not at the current or next bump helps a ton.

    Wst 3/23-24

    Normal 5.5 hour drive to K took 5.5 hours. Hope everyone made it to their destination safely. The next few days should be a very fun end of winter skiing in the NE. Ready for spring skiing starting next weekend :)

    WST: 3/16-17.....Mid-March Madness....

    I wouldn't have paid but Killington groomers were fine today for pass holders. Skied Bear and Needles from 11-3 and it was mostly granular sugar on the sides and sometimes nice piles or corned up bump lines further towards the middle. After 4 seasons of Killington, I can kind of sense where...

    Current Quiver......

    Groomer only days - 2016 Head i.Supershape Speed 66mm Every other day - 2014 Blizzard Peacemaker 104mm I feel like I need something in the middle. I used to have Atomic Blackeye Ti 82mm but they delaminated underfoot on 1 ski a few years ago. Maybe not though because I really get a kick out...

    Royal Flush with rocks poking through everywhere and thin cover is still some good shit though. :)

    Weekend Speculation Thread - The Presidential Edition! 2/16-17

    I'm seeing about 4mm of rain after maybe an inch of snow for Killington and southern VT. It's not catastrophic. A week ago I was thinking of not even bothering with this weekend.

    Suggestions for new tree skiers

    Pico has great low angle trees and operates only Thursday - Sunday; so there may still be fresh lines.

    Superstar stockpiles!

    I was there over the weekend. They're looking pretty committed to Spring skiing. The whales on superstar and glacier going at the top of ss were impressive. edit: had a great time despite the crap winter. plenty of fresh snow on the sides of trails and some fun bumps.

    Fatal Crash - Route 100 in Killington

    Very sad to hear. I hate driving that section in bad conditions. I take it slow AF (Subaru, snows) even when it's just flurries and look like a dork with my PA plates and little family and crap but it's not a place to mess around in bad conditions. People, please be safe out there. Really...

    More bad news from the weekend (skier death)

    It's a very mellow traverse off Canyon/Glades chairs heading towards Cascade and Escapade. Sad news for sure.
