Finally, someone else who'll ski the WROD.
I was starting to think I was in the minority

I guess there was a failed rescue attempt up there this summer. It went something like this:

As soon as I can at the river. But if they wind up with weekends only while off the mid station and Killington is daily, will hit k first if it fits my work schedule better

This. I'll be there opening weekend and every weekend until the loaf opens.

I have plans to be at Killington in early November. I'm tempted to use my 2-for-1 voucher.

1st turns about 8 minutes after the 1st Saturday Mount Snow is open and the Bluebird deposits me on the summit!
Are you kidding? I'll be on the first skiiable line.
I've done Killington in October once. I learned my lesson and now how out for something with easier access. This generally means Sunday River, or more recently Bretton Woods.

I got to ski on Nov 30 last year in southern PA and it was better than just a single WROD. Really high quality man-made snow. Usually I start a couple weeks later.

Stairs at K Town do not seem favored here! It is nice to say we did it a few times but that excitement has become a detractor. As I mentioned earlier and others have mentioned as well not steps for this guy!

First or second week in December. Whenever Butternut is mostly open or when my ski club does a bus up to VT. Whichever comes first.

Sadly I usually dont ski until early January, but then I'm skiing virtually every weekend till' close.
The reason for the late start is I have to be in Florida for Christmas/New Year's each year, and mid-December driving from my location to typically meh mid-December conditions is just not worth it IMO.
Last year, however, I skied TWICE in December before Christmas, in the Poconos no less. By December 15th, the Poconos was skiing better than it usually does on February 15th. It was bizarro-world.

Usually use the k 2 fer the first weekend of december but with a kid now i dont think i will waste a weekend away on early season conditions... Even tho last year we got the 18" dump on sat nite pf the early trip

2 fer is only good till Dec.14th I believe.
Me I'll be up the 1st weekend in Dec. with "THE BOYZ" for sure.
Earlier start is snow & terrain dependent. Pretty sure I started mid-Nov. last year.
I'll try to get my K-pass under $100 a day before Christmas.
Shouldn't be to much of a problem.
Full speed ahead after the holidays.

Usually shoot for the day after Thanksgiving. Loon usually has a handful of trails open at that time, but on occasion the weather is cold enough to get a WROD closer to home.
