Killington - 4-5-2016

[bdfreetuna]

Father and son called in for a snow day. Killington looked to have 6" fresh or so and I knew it was going to be corduroy city up there.

And it was. Amazingly fun and easy skiing. Like mid winter in a normal season except with way less trails open.

Everything that was open was gold. The only trail that was less than a 10/10 was Superstar due to it getting the most traffic. Everything else was 10/10 hero skiing.

Blue skies all day. Even the old man was slaying trails and smiling all day. I was just tearing it up, there was zero ice to be found ... finally!

Conditions: Packed powder and perfect corduroy

All in the timing - spoke with a client Tuesday who skied there Saturday - said it was so bad they quit early. Too much ice. Nice that you got the goods!

Anyone who quit early last Saturday did it wrong. I was there and it really sucked in the morning, but after about 1 it was nice spring skiing.

My son was up there yesterday and said it was great too.

I was skiing with my 8 year old, so my strategy was different than it would have been had I gone solo...! My legs were already getting tired by the time the snow softened up.

You made the better call!

Too bad we didn't get to meet Tues. Tuna since I was there also. Agree with your report about the excellent skiing except for your comments about Superstar which I found to be excellent too.

Hey Steamboat1 yeah man we probably passed each other at some point. Superstar run #1 in the morning was prime. Then later in the afternoon I'd only give it a 8/10 because I went down the bumps on the side and they were kind of hit or miss with some ice and scrapiness.

Keep in mind I never sharpen my edges so you probably got better carves on it than I did
