Killington Specialty Experiences - Ski with Pros

Interesting program...

Killington has put together a series of programs that bring in Olympians, Extreme Skiers, and Freeride pros to ski with you in small groups to bring your skiing or riding to a higher level.

Killington has signed on Dan Egan, one of Powder Magazine's "Top Skiers of All Time" Olympic gold medalist Donna Weinbrecht along with pro snowboarders Ian Compton and Yale Cousino to structure Specialty Experiences around what makes these athletes rise to the top of their sport.

Have you guys ever skied with a "pro" and had that impact your skiing? I'm a big believer in hanging with folks better than you (although not too much better... don't want to slow anyone down)

You're not kidding. 2 day lift ticket, 2 days of lunch and 8 1/2 hours of on snow time with the legend?? I'm guessing class size isn't very limited though.

 

[Ski the Moguls]

I have done the Adult Race Weekend at Killington and actually did get a lot of bang for the buck. No reason not to expect a similar "bargain" here. But moguls, steeps and trees? Not much of that available now. I would try it some other time when the Northeast has a bit more snow on the ground.

At Killington, Lower Wildfire, in the afternoon. Unfortunately you have to share the bumps with about a hundred other people, all at the same time! Talk about effin,or is it FN?

You're Welcome.

Converging lines, scattered equipment in the valleys and little kids jumping and face planting throughout. What better way to hone your reflex skills in the bumps? When in doubt, air and out!
