A minute from the Alta exit off the I-15!
Only at the very vary base... nothing happening on the Peak Cam except the upper part of Snowdon. They're only running a gun at the base of Superstar to connect Snowshed with the rest of the mountain when the time comes, imo.

K moving quickly

They have to because T2B will start showing up at a lot of places with in the week. Okemo palms on opening a cluster of trails at once and I bet will pass everyone.

Probably do to the late start but I've never seen them blow that side until there ttb. It's a race to get as much open as possible before Thanksgiving.

Looks like they're blowing upper Bunny & mid Chute down to lower Bunny. Fan guns going on the Snowshed carpet slope also. Can only assume there blowing GN also down to mid Chute from North Ridge.

They are never, ever first top to bottom. Most years they are weeks behind other areas:

You haven't a clue. They'll be TTB before bird day.

How's your hill doing?

They were blowing top to bottom today. Last year they were top-to-bottom with 30% more vertical than K1 offers a full two weeks before Killington got open to the bottom. If they want it they'll beat K-mart to the bottom this year too, even with all that extra vertical they'll need to cover.

K-mart is already well over a month behind Monday River in getting to the bottom. At least there it is a fair fight on the vertical they need to cover.

I see more people smoking at K than anywhere else; often times in the lift line. I'm a former smoker, so I'm not judging the act. However, when I did smoke I went out of my way to make sure I smoked in a location where others didn't have to smell it.

What really impressed me today was how many people were smoking. I even saw one snowboarder smoking while heading down the slope.
