What at the stuff down past Low Rider? What about the old glade off the SRT?

Interesting. This thread is proving to be an invaluable resource for skiing at Killington. I propose that Nick make it a sticky.

Is the old Devil's Fiddle liftline skiable? Do the locals have a clever little name for it?

Bike trails that are too flat to be any good, but you're welcome to try. Echo woods, grown in but a few paths, pretty flat.

As of 5 years ago, yes, last year no, too grown in. Would need to go up with a crew of people or power tools to clear it, but why bother as its only likely to be skiable a half dozen days a year.

Centerpiece appears to be closer to the Bear Mountain Quad than satisfies my recollection. Did they bother removing the lift towers?

Centerpiece is a maintained glade entirely in the woods, separate from the liftline.

Too bad. Bet it would be awesome in the right conditions.

It was, back in the day. Brush in there is currently about 10ft tall, dense, and NOT skiable, and I did look last year, had to bail to centerpiece. Would need a ice storm to mat down the brush, followed by 4 ft of heavy snow.

Why stop at a sticky? Nick is turning it into CASH-MONEY in his pocket. He's already got it advertised on FaceBook as "Heated debate in the forums about the discussion of secret powder stashes at popular resorts. Link -->http://forums.alpinezone.com/showth...shes-Online-Why-YOU-are-an-IDIOT-for-doing-it" We may rib each other as "tools" But Nick knows that we truly are advertising tools.

Awesome.

But really, does anyone actually follow alpinezone on facebook, aside from the occasional cannon local wannabe?
