Killington condition?

[deadheadskier]

skied o late sunday. still thought it skied great though i expect by monday there will be 2 breaks. also walking to get out. ski patrol was actually shoveling snow on it in the morning.

btw middle vertigo is sooo worth it though there's walking involved.

Thanks for the tip. Vertigo has the best bumps on the hill right now for sure

Thanks for more photos. I would definitely be curious to see this giant pile of snow at the top of Superstar.

Look at my photos further back in this thread, marked "The June stockpile:"

How can Panic Button, Vertigo, and Needle's Eye be open without the gondola or Needle's Eye Quad? You would have to walk back up a long way.

Snowshed cross over. Some hiking involved from what I hear.

as of noon sunday it was skiable all the way. but there were thin spots and at these temps wouldn't be surprised if there was now walking. things go quickly at this time of the year.

There was about a four foot wise section of mud you had to ski across today but otherwise it was fine. Only walking I did today was the cut through from panic to vertigo and the cut back to superstar from ovation. Snow is going quick though. By the weekend it will probably be just superstar skyelark and lower bittersweet

bummer, missed him. Did he head out later in the day? I had to take off a bit early today. I was only able to ski from 9 until 1.

All right, seen it now. It's funny how it is so big you can't even get it into one picture!

The snow is really deep on SS. Can't wait to see how long they go.

Awesome day at Big K, few pics





Rambo's stool, victim of the spongy parking lot, and Spiedies, YUM!




No Bird Man, but Radio Ron was there. I think the boys from Meathead films were there too, but they were not filming, and not in neon.

I got to ride the North Triple with Birdman and a buddy of mine earlier this year. What a character! By far the best chairlift ride this year. His stories were hilarious and had us laughing the whole time.

Skied with him twice last Spring, yes he is interesting, nice guy too. When was the last time you saw someone 6' 8" tall, 280 lbs on skis? He's like a cartoon character, kids love him. Wonder where he was?

Yes, use the slice of Roma's bread like an oven mitt to grab the cubes of goodness! Spiedie subs have grown in popularity, S&S serves them like that. They do make an awesome sub. I like cheese, mushrooms, and BBQ sauce, yum. Place called The Spiedie & Rib Pit has an awesome Spiedie Gyro, cheap too $4.50.

If you look up "dive" in the dictionary, or search Google images, you'll see a picture of Yonda's, I'm sure.:wink: How about Lubner's, ever make it over there? It was by Red's Kettle Inn, across from the old CFJ park. Another cool dive, when you walked in the front door, you saw a set of several steps that went to a raised back bar. The bar itself was L shaped and to the right. If you walked up the steps there was an old sofa positioned so that if you sat there, it was as if the bar were a coffee table. It was cool to sit there. Don't know if they're in business still.

That whole area used to be pretty cool, used to be the "Clinton Street Run", try to drink a shot and beer in each bar on Clinton St., good luck, used to be a bunch.

Yes, conditions at Killington should be superb this weekend, finally some real Spring skiing! Stoked!

High jack in progress.

Never made it to Lubners. We frequented Fitzies Irish Pub on Main Street JC; Old Number 9 on the South side; The Rusty Nail and Maxwells in downtown. Somewhere there is archive footage from Fitzies by one of the local new stations of someone that looks a lot like me dancing a jig on St Patties day with a young lass on my shoulders. One of my finer moments.

Continuing hijack, I think you mean Number 5 on the South side, across the street from Thirsty's. Ah, Fitzies, I can remember being there on St. Patty's Day and two of my buddies broke open green glow sticks and spread the contents on their arms and face. That's gotta be safe? Right? :wink:

Back on topic, skied Sugarbush today, their last day, off to big K tomorrow, after seeing how much snow they had last Sunday, expecting another stellar day tomorrow!

Quite right - Number 5 - a converted fire house. And Thirsty's I had forgotten about that. We would hit some of the Clinton Street bars but cannot recall the names of any of them. One we went to was literally the basement of the guys house. It had a piano and one of crew could play. Fun times, fuzzy memories.
