? I love to go more but I can't afford to ,got get new car now if your talking about me?
If you are I was planning on skiing great soft snow this spring in the sun with warm temperatures and less clothes, my car decided other wise, but I am very very happy that K is pushing it late spring this year, and gives me reason to go to K next year if not this May to if I get problems fixed.
Sorry I miss read the post and really am sorry ski free I realize now you were talking about something else.

from the latest insider blog:

Killington continues to extend the season this year due to the millions of gallons of water our snowmakers made into snow on all of our mountain areas, and we've got the inside scoop on the plan from Director of Mountain Operations, Jeff Temple. So, ride your bike, tune up your golf swing and keep skiing and riding – our trails are still covered with lots of snow.

The Superstar Express Quad will stay open until 5:00 p.m. daily from April 15 - May 5, 2013. Just for spring, you’ll find a brand new rail garden for park fans. Black flies or bust, the Superstar Express Quad will continue to operate on weekends only beginning May 11, 2013, and marching on to June, conditions permitting.
The K-1 Express Gondola, accessing the entire upper mountain, will spin through April 21, 2013, with access to terrain for all ability levels. Plus, look for additional lift access to the Canyon and Snowdon Mountain for the weekend of April 20-21, 2013.
Bear Mountain, with the sought-after spring conditions on Outer Limits, will open again this coming weekend, April 13-14, 2013. Look for the Dream Maker Terrain Park, barbecuing, and even take on the open mogul course from the Bear Mountain Mogul Challenge.
The Needle’s Eye Area will operate through the weekend, with great eastern-facing exposure for soft snow conditions.

It’s one of our favorite parts of the ski season with warm, sunny days, weekends filled with music, and events like the Vermont Brewfest, pond skimming and more. So, put off the yard work for a few more weeks and enjoy the soft, carvable snow surface on top of a deep base, the sun in your face and an Adirondack chair at the Roaring Brook Umbrella Bars!

Great news. So glad I picked up a spring pass as K is making it pay off big time. Will be there the next 2 weekends then dial it back to a day here and there into May (a month in which I have never skied). Kudo's to Killington management. Look forward to maybe seeing and making some turns with some AZ'ers (if I can keep up).

Does this mean that mid week April 15-19 the only two lifts open are Superstar and K-1?

Alex I'll be up the weekend of the 20th. Won't be able to ski so don't worry about keeping up. You might have a problem keeping up in the beer department at the RUB. It would be nice to meet you & any other Zoner's that might be up that weekend & hoist a few.

snow and sleet doesn't erode the snow. that is a good thing considering the alternatives this late in the season.

That is an odd looking jump. Which park is that?

not a jump, trail, top of Skylark. That's just how high Killington has stockpiled snow in places. Long season coming.

OK, now I see it with The Grand in the background. Last time I was there I remember a thin line of bumps down the left hand side. Your picture does not seem to show that. Did they groom out?

Nice. I hope to make it up there at least once, hopefully twice in May. If they somehow make it to Sunday, June 2nd; I almost feel like I have to go based on principle. It's been so long since we've seen June lift serviced in New England, it would really be something worth celebrating and experiencing again.

 

[steamboat1]

That's a shit load of snow for 4/13.

 

[2knees]

so great that the old k is back. can't wait to ski again. and again. and again.

my season started late but it started at the right time. Blizzard, endless snow and then k making a push for June.

That's on Skylark, Superstar has a hell of a lot more.

Gilligan, yes it appears they did groom out the bumps, Sin, as there were real sweet, But presently it's not groomed flat. So still nice, really some of the nicest snow on the mountain, love the run this year.

y. If they somehow make it to Sunday, June 2nd; I almost feel like I have to go based on principle. .

yep same here. They've done all they could, now hope ma nature plays along. Could tell by their attitude and actually by what they say, That June is the goal.
