It is a STUNNING view of K1. Wouldn't mind if they permanently had a webcam pointed there in addition to SS.

I was thinking the same thing. Hell I prefer this view over Superstar. Just point it back at Superstar in the spring.

Didn't they used to have a K1 view cam?

They did....I think it is the golf course or the showshed cam. I agree with others as the SS cam should stay until spring!

K zoneera forum is kabunk. Get out the aluminum foil hats for da fix. Superstar fire power good for racers. Bad for rainz tomorrow. Ice rink after.

Vail Mothership Walmart opened their east coast headquarters. I'm sure it was epic.

Mt Blow getting sued by the flatlanders. Standard. Settlement will happen.

Rainz to come. Liquid pow pow. Jersey joe out!

I checked with an admin and there is a malware issue with some files that caused the host to lock down the site. Given it's the weekend it might be a little while to get back on line.

Are the girls up there doing training runs Monday and Tuesday?
It was fun to meet notables last year .. 2 in particular :thumbup:

The venue this year is a much better layout.
The course has undergone some changes as well.

Cam back on. Bunch of people on the hill. Snowing. At least they don't have to worry about injecting the course with water to get it FIS hard!

Possibly on Skyelark. Most certainly NOT on Superstar. WC hills are closed to even racers the week before an event. It's to minimize home-field advantage. The only time they are allowed on the race hill before the first run inspection is if the jury gives a freeski day. The ladies have one scheduled for Friday AM.

KMS kids got to ski superstar on Saturday and I was jealous

SIKSKIER · Nov 20, 2017

IIRC last year I tried to view that cam during the races and it was not available.Just watched them set up the fencing.

SIKSKIER · Nov 20, 2017

The snowshed cam I think is different than the mountain view cam they had last year.Right now they have it pointed showing snowmaking on Snowshed but it has moved slightly and is also showing Snowden and K peaks.

SIKSKIER · Nov 20, 2017

Well that was a first,I was just viewing the Superstar and somebody was moving all over,zooming all around in and out.Had a close look at many different areas.Great cam.

I'm at Logan airport in the international arrivals area and ran into the Norwegian ski team's equipment. Four very Norwegian looking ladies of competitive skiing age are sitting near the gear. These are just two of several carts.

I chatted with them for a few seconds. They are indeed racing at Killington. We talked about the snow making effort and how close it was. I wished them good luck and was on my way.

You would think with the way airlines handle luggage they would have the hard cases for their skis. Kinda important to them...My hard case got the snot beat out of it on a direct flight.

I was surprised too. On an unrelated note, the luggage had priority tags, which suggests that they fly business class.

They won’t use hard cases. They can damage the edges.
