Come out this weekend, everyone is friendly at the mountain and there to have a good time with some last lift service turns.
BBQs will be fired up and lots of cold beer. No better way to celebrate!
You can get clowns anywhere but those people are most likely at the beach this weekend and not up in VT.

Are you out here? We are planning of hitting A Basin on Sunday. Lots of terrain still open. They shut down Zuma Bowl with lots of snow there though. Pali still open however. They are starting to reign things in but still looks like winter.
This is A Basin from their Web Cam on Tuesday the 23rd off May.

Superstar will be groomed tonight per the daily report. It will probably be the last day of continuous snow, so I guess an 8 am arrival is in order. I still hope they open June 1 for patch skiing, but only time will tell.

If you're on the fence come on up. Top 1/3 of the headwall sucks but the rest is terrific. Walk to and from the lift is very short.

Unofficial word is free skiing on the first. Staffing is in place, band booked for the U bar. See you there! Snow permitting of course.

Yep just got word Thursday is a go. Hoping to make it through the weekend. Looking at the forecast I don't think they'll have too much trouble. Still 15' deep in last year's trouble area down low. Maybe walking the headwall but the rest will be good.

I was not referring to K, I was referring to other Vermont resorts. I believe most have boosted above any previous water limit. Mount Snow will be way ahead next year with West Lake coming online.

Will they just open Thursday or Friday into the weekend also?

I would think that is totally conditions dependant. If they just barely make it to Thursday, nope. But if the trail is still mostly continuous, good bet they run the whole weekend.

Took this pic near the bottom. Wasn't even all the way down to the ground. Depth is about 15 feet on the final pitch on the left side.

From what I heard today, they'll try to go til Saturday(or Sunday even?) But if you want lift served June turns, plan on being sick on Thursday. Anything after that will be bonus time, and even June 1 is no layup. There will be snow patches to ski next weekend, but lift service? We can only hope.

Killington will be closed tomorrow due to weather. I guess that means there's a slight chance today was it but I'm pretty sure they have enough to survive the rain.
A snow preservation tactic designed to ensure they can justify 6/1 lift served.

Yep, that is my plan...rain or shine, I'll at K on Thursday (anti-jinx regarding wildlife). If they open on Friday, I might still be around and get my June 2 turns also.
