Killington Vermont

Nov-5th -2008

Cond; spring, corn, bare sports

Weather: 50’s cloudy, warm


I headed north towards Killington passing through Hartford CT 11:00 PM had a good night time drive up, with no traffic. Got to Killington around 1 AM and slept in the car. Got on the slopes at 9 :25. skied top to bottom a few times, always skiing down draft, which was pretty hairy with lots of rocks and sticks poking through. Stuck with east fall, rime off the north ridge triple, for a few hours, the snow was def. thin in places, but I found the terrain park has the best and softest snow on the mtn. took a break for lunch then a few more runs off the K-1 before calling it a day, not sure if they will make till this weekend, just depends on how much sun we get over the next few days

Make that at least two a day, and I don't think I saw a bad one yet.

Even mid season you usually have to walk to the top of Downdraft.

Excellent TR! It's good to see they still have coverage up there.
