There were no stairs in 1998.

I may have to join you at the Zoomer Bar next year. I'm not sure how often I could make it. I'll be skiing the Granite Pass and Valley Pass next year.

Living West of Killington, I'll take the stairs for WROD turns, thank you. I just realized, thanks to K I've been sliding on snow 7 of the last 12 months, pretty cool.

I'm considering taking a fortune cookie's advice for the first time in my life.

A-basin, extended season?

A- basin announced one additional weekend so far, June 12, 13 and 14. Hopefully more to come. If they run til July 4th weekend, a bit of a stretch, I'll consider it. Never have gotten lift served in July.

I know they've been open on July 4th in the past. Should've made a trip earlier in May, I guess they were 100℅ open recently, East Wall, and Pali, they got 50" in May.

Are you hiking for turns Monday at K?

I skied A Basin on July 4th 1993. Wild day. It was 75 degrees at 10Am and then by 10PM it was 30 degrees up in Montezuma (town not bowl) with several inches of snow on the ground.

The latest I have skied there was June 14-16 2004 I believe. One of the days was a pow day, and It snowed a couple inches in Breckenridge where we were staying.

I hear that back in 1995 they were open until August. Pretty wild

What is the Zoomer Bar and do you have me mistaken for someone else?

??? He was talking about last season.

Early November last season, Bretton Woods and Wildcat were both skiing ttb off HSQ when Killington still required a stairwell.

I can see that now, the post he replied to was mostly about past early season practices at Killington.

I don't have a horse in the game either way I haven't skied in November in years.

If K was open June 1st the zoomed bar would be taking road trip !
The FJ knows it's way to K quiet well !

Yup!

BTW I saw someone earning their turns this morning at K! That person was skiing down and I watched his/her run.

No interest in the Zoomer Bar, now the Zoomer Amsterdam Coffee House, is another story.

This has probably been asked a million times already, but why don't they keep the north ridge area open this time of year? Looks like decent coverage up there and its the place they always start at in the fall.

You'd have to operate two lifts, shovel out the stairwell, there are no umbrella bars / places to party. Not to mention the Superstar terrain pod is far more compelling terrain than North Ridge.

Both the Canyon quad (which accesses North Ridge terrain) & Snowdon quad ran the first weekend of May in addition to the Superstar HSQ. Not to shabby in my book.

What did Cannon have open that weekend?
