Escapade should be in play and awesome. Skier's left on Skyehawk. Skier's left on lower Superstar. We'll see how well Highline and Conclusion hold out; I don't have much hope for Highline, but if they push some snow around upper Conclusion that should be fine. Hopefully they leave Ovation alone this week, that's the one trail I'm really not happy with the brutal grooming on this year. Might be able to do O.L. or Vertigo runs, depending on if they have a Ski Patrol parked there. They didn't on Saturday.

Thanks for the trail run down. This will come in handy tomorrow. Based on the aspects/sun, what's the best plan of attack? Highline/Conclusion early (arriving for 11 am), then K Peak (Escapade, etc., anything on Dipper?), finally Skye trails via SS quad?

Looks like I'm out. Unfortunately.

I will be there Sat/Sun however. I've got a free place to stay for the weekend.

Sorry guys.

For not being there Friday.

I'm planning on getting to the parking lot around 10:00. Probably crank the heat to 90 and do a 60 minute session of hot box yoga to loosen up. If we dump all the equipment outside I'll have room for a couple more.

wish i could do sugarbush but its just too far for me to daytrip it.

escapade should still have nice bumps. conclusion has the old course on it and from the pic greg sent me, lower supe skiers left is bumped. not ideal, but still better than nothing.

I'll have to wait a see the pics. But are they gonna groom those before the weekend also? Once again Killington does not get it, it's good if you snowboard or if you like the groomers. I just want the old Killington back.

You gotta post that shit up, no point of having live updates if you don't share! ;)
