Killington condition?

[Savemeasammy]

The seeded lines look nice. It looks like the part that was groomed is developing GS bumps....

I'll keep an eye out for you Sunday, I still have your number, I'll give you a call, it'll be great!

Cool. Will keep an eye out for you too. (we'll all probably be wearing something very different given the weather...)

I live on, sometimes in, the Susquehanna in Binghamton.

Volunteerily or involunterrily?

Are you a Spiedie virgin? Sounds like an oxymoron, they're a local delicacy, thinking of bringing some along...I am the Spiedie ambassador! :wink:

I am. That sounds delicious already!

Both I guess, been flooded twice since 2006, thought Sandy was going to get us too, luckily dodged that bullet.



Sweet, going to pick some up after work today, chicken and pork. Lamb were the original Spiedies, they sell them, but they're $10 per pound, Yikes! Chicken is about half that, chicken has supplanted pork as the most popular Spiedie. Spiedies are a great way to cook venison, the marinade masks any gamey-ness. I don't hunt, but if I did, I'd surely make venison Spiedies! I'll eat em if you got em. A friend of my Brother used to bow hunt, ate venison Spiedies at his place all Summer long, fond memories. See you on Superstar!

Skied today, conditions were great, weather was great, and not crowded. They actually seeded bumps onSuperstar headwall, never saw that before, nice natural bumps on lower Superstar and Skylark as well as others, trails were all great

+10. Great day at K. Open trails skied great. Soft bumps everywhere. Umbrella Bar had a great vibe. Meat feast lunch was excellent.

Getting back to the OP's questions. It probably will not freeze tonight, Superstar HSQ is running from 8am to 5pm, and it looks like the conditions might be good right from opening bell. Lots of skiers today, but I did not see more than a 5 chair wait at Superstar. Zero wait at the gondola and the Canyon Quad. Even at full freight of $49 it is a bargain.

Keep the pictures coming, it is interesting seeing how Killington's doing!

 

[Savemeasammy]

I'm planning to get there early tomorrow. Does anyone have an opinion of what will ski the best early on?

Think it'll all ski good as they aren't expecting a freeze. One suggestion, coming out of the Canyon area there is some walking involved. I you lap the Canyon area I'd suggest that when you want to leave, do not ski all the way down, Cut across High Road to Bear Trax and Launch pad, This way you find you self at the top of Skype and you coulod ski all the way down via Superstar or Bittersweet/Sky Lark

OK, went for a swim in one of the rapid but survived, no drowning...

Pictures looking good! Will try to get there as early as I can.

Just got them at Liftopia for $30. (I spread the word amoungst my white water coherts, might have added 1 or 2 to the lift line tomorrow! ;-) )

That looks great - wish I could be there.

Is that Devil's Fiddle Quad still standing? I haven't been to Killington since the American Ski Company days and I know they removed it, but did they leave the towers standing?

Towers still up, cables and chairs removed. No idea why. They did turn the top terminal into an exclusive bar. I kid you not!

Monday will just have SSQ running yes?

How's Upper Ovation hanging on? Should I expect it to be open in addition to Superstar, Skylark and Bittersweet?

I did captain obvious. Yes, from the picture it looks like it will be alright, but is it too much to ask for Beta from someone who may have skied it today? I've seen Upper Ovation in almost that exact condition and not have much of a base depth and literally burn out in one warm spring day. It's going to be almost 70 there tomorrow and sunny.

So now you want a Killington Fanboy's help? Could you at least say, "Please?"
