Just another reminder for me for when to stay away from Killington.

Don’t be a douche bag. This is a cool event to check out.

To each their own, just cause you like it doesn't mean everyone has to you douche bag.

Not being a douche just wouldn’t want to deal with the traffic/parking and while I love skiing I do not like ski racing. I used to stay/ski at K on thanksgiving weekend but not since the race has been there. I will head somewhere else and let the ones that like this sort of thing have their fun.

It’s a great time, beautiful women all around and we get right on the gondi without any line, plenty of snow, parking was easy

Wait, you mean there aren't beautiful women all around every weekend?

Looks like proof of vaccination or negative test will be required to attend this year. Probably a good move by the big K!

I wonder what the "Dynamic Pricing" will be for the FastTrack Lanes that weekend.....

Will be interesting to see - in my experience when we have ventured out to ski a bit on that weekend the base area where the race is happening is usually mobbed, but the trails are mostly empty.

Only world cup crew and racers get to ride SS.

Ah. OK. So priceless for SS; $150 for K1.

Miss that view. Got to attend the WC two years in a row. Pretty fun event if you can deal with the crowds and long lines for beer. The skiing is usually blah that time of year anyway. Just enjoy the party.

Couple of guns going at the bottom of superstar headwall, stockpiling has begun.

Minimal Expensive snow being made. Yay…

Gotta distract everyone from the FastPass….

It's a pressure test, it's nearly 40 degrees at the Peak. Game on is later this week.

Edit: I am told they will likely run tonight up top. Seems weird with the forecast through the week, but they do love to burn money lol.

 

[jimmywilson69]

yeah looks like they are just painting the ground.

will be fun to watch as always!

FYI- Tix went on sale at 10 for those interested. Also, parking passes are on a lottery system this year.

 

[boston_e]

I saw that - kind of a bummer that you have to commit to tickets before knowing if you will have parking in the lottery.

I get there are shuttles but 50%+ of the fun is doing the tailgate in the parking lot.
