killington wants the title back

[frankm938]

looks like all the talk of killington not having enough bumps has finally got K management to do something about it.
to go along with the seeded course that is already on outer limits,... wildfire, mouse trap, and swirl will also have seeded bumps this wknd.
vertigo has a seeded course also, but it is being used for a B meet this wknd.
add the seeded runs to the natural bumps that are already out there, and we (bump skiers) will have plenty of moguls to ski this wknd.
maybe they are trying to take back the title of the bump meca of the east...

From the "Drift":

Fresh snow has fallen at Killington Resort as the U.S. Ski Team
continues to pile up Gold, Silver and Bronze medals at the 2010
Olympic Winter Games. We want to send special congratulations out
to Vermonters Hannah Kearney for grabbing the Gold in women's
moguls, joining Donna Weinbrecht - who grew up honing her
bump-bashing skills on the slopes of Killington - as the only
American women to have taken Gold in the sport, and Killington
Mountain School Alumni Michael Morse, who posted a solid 15th
place finish in the men's moguls. To celebrate their
accomplishments, we're offering freshly seeded bumps and
specialty clinics to help you master the moguls at the Beast of
the East!

Moguls, Moguls and more Moguls
Start small and go big! We've seeded moguls on MTS (Easier) and
Vertigo (Most Advanced) to add to the fresh snowmaking moguls on
Outer Limits - the steepest, longest mogul trail in the East.
Plus, we'll be adding more seeded moguls on Upper Wildfire and
Mousetrap for the coming weekend. Find out more in the Killington
Insider.

Bump It Up at Killington
Sharpen your bump-bashing skills by training with mogul coaches
from Killington Ski School and the Killington Competitions
Department at our Mogul Camp Weekend this Saturday and Sunday.
This weekend includes camps for both kids and adults and a
limited number of spots are still available. Call 800-923-9444
for reservations. We're also offering Trees & Steeps, Learn to
Fly and Women's Clinics this weekend too!

There are way too many bumps at the new Killington. They need to groom more.

the way things are going, maybe the BMMC will be back to pre 2008 status

 

[deadheadskier]

great to hear for the K bumpers. I think they'd need to show commitment for an entire season though to reclaim the 'title' from Sugarbush.

It might help if they held the event in April instead of March

 

[deadheadskier]

I think moe. is going to help attendance big time.

Good news for K skiers, but they have a long ways to go to get any sort of mogul title back. When they have this on at least 15 natural trails, then they might have a chance:

Above trail hasn't seen a groomer or a snowgun all season, and has been some of the best skiing on the mountain.

for sure, but the fact that they are seeing the importance of putting out a quality mogul product is great news for the bump skiers at K (which is still a large portion of the the skiers at killington) or any skier that gets sick of skiing flats all day

oh I know. I just seem to recall similar 'tweets' back in January and anticipated excitement only to have the place mowed flat shortly there after.
