My new fall skiing outfit for lower Bunny Buster :)

I get to ski the place midweek when it's deserted. In the defense of Killington, the new owners chased away so many people and trained so many to ski elsewhere in the fall that it's nothing like it used to be.

Looks like Lazy (Crazy) Mile on a typical weekend afternoon.

You're right! :lol: I remember being on that trail on Presidents day! :-o Dumb decision. I remember stopping on the side somewhere and looking up for my wife and a friend and fearing for their lives because I could see what was behind them! Made our way down alive and left...

Really? Nice. That's means Bear Mountain open until mid-April at least?

not true ... remember bmmc being 2nd weekend of april. 1997 was 4/12-13, 1999 4/10-11, 2000 4/8-9. in fact many years bear remained open through 3rd weekend of april. this early closing is a powdr/late asc thing. here's the event calendar from 1999:

bear mtn mogul challenge april 10-11
spring loaded snowboard pro/am (bear mtn) april 17-18
may 1st race & pond skimming may 1-2
sunshine daydream weekend may 8-9
6th annual huckfest may 15-16
rage weekend/k triathalon may 29-31

ok, MOST of the time its the first wknd in april unless easter gets in the way.
either way, i hope they run the bear quad a little longer this year. we were still skiing OL 3 weeks after they shut bear down last year
