That video of Juggernaut just brought back nightmares. Now I know why we bailed at the first chance. When Juggernaut was a 10 mile trail, it only dropped an average of 306 vertical feet per mile!

Looks like a lot of traversing and dodging other skiers - just a typical day at Killington

Killington could put this to bed if they would ever do the interconnect to Pico. Heck, they'd even increase their maximum pod vert as Pico skis bigger vertically than any peak at K. But wait, they're parent company as some little legal issue out west in Utah I think....

There is probably no shortage of secret stashes off of Juggernaut. Just bring your cross country skis.

Most likely the first weekend in Dec. will be my first trip. I think it's the 6th through 8th this year. We have a small group of guys ("THE BOYZ") who have been going up that weekend for years (whatever the 1st weekend in Dec. is). You may remember me talking about it in the past. Probably one of the only weekends I'll ski all season. I already have a bunch of K 2 for 1 tickets just for that weekend. You're welcome to come.

He's gone rogue.
Pico's vertical is greater than Killington's, but it's still sub-2000 foot.
At least they'd be above Stratton at that point though.

I believe the base elevation of the K-1 lodge is second only to Bolton Valley's base elevation.

You're a moron if you believe the idiots from that mountain vertical site.

HS ripping it up.
Okay wait a minute.....HS posted on biglines? Excuse me while I rofl :sly:
Just to move the thread back to the original topic.........
I'd like to nominate both Smuggs and Stowe into the mix. There not necessarily officially interconnected but if you were to count this as one ski area it would win hands down and blow the wet, tight jeans off Killington not to mention many western resorts. Even on there own accord each ski area offers an amazing amount of lift accessed ski terrain that rivals many.
Others to throw into this mix would be Sugarbush, as mentioned previously, Jay Peak and Cannon Mtn, NH. When I think big lift accessible skiing acreage, I'm thinking slack country ski-able terrain, not necessarily slopes and trails. Don't ski where the man tells you too, figure out a way to make it work for you!

Huh? What the hades is there NOT to believe?
Do you think they've somehow monkeyed with orbiting satellites and GPS positioning to make Killington appear to have less vertical?
How do you put Stowe and smuggs together, and not sugarbush and mrg?
