Is this at regular rates? $77 for full day?

Just checking... I was thinking of maybe finding a way to get up on Saturday but not if it's at the regular Saturday rate of $82...

I'm guessing it's going to be the early season $65 rate..if they charge 77 or 82..then I will say that Powdr'missing a vowel is not as legit as people make them out to be.

Did the (4) tickets for $199.00 that Geoff posted 10/25/08 in the skiing-on-the-cheap thread. So it was $212.00 with tax ($53.00/ticket). Have to be in a ski club/council. Not the greatest deal around but between these and my passports I ski Killington at least (6) times this year! I was already in a club. Don't know what restrictions, I'm assuming Holidays. Picking it up at Snowshed Friday morning. I'm one of the ones that would rather pay a little extra for the smaller crowds...............although I probably will not spend more than $40.00 on a ticket the remainder of the year, and half my tickets are comps.

You just insured that Friday is indeed going to be a powder day.

At what point does it make sense to bump this to the 21st? Not really interested in taking a vacation day for rain skiing, especially if next week is more promising. I would need to know by tomorrow in order to shift work plans. Thoughts?

Are you afraid to ski in the rain??? 40% chance for Friday isn't that bad..

Thursday: Rain likely. Cloudy, with a high near 39. Chance of precipitation is 70%.

Thursday Night: Rain likely. Cloudy, with a low around 37. Chance of precipitation is 70%.

Friday: A chance of showers. Cloudy, with a high near 46. Chance of precipitation is 40%.

I am. i'm afraid i might melt. at least thats what my mommy always told me.

I've skied in the rain so much it doesn't even faze me..especially at a place like Killington where you can dry off in the Ganjala..I wish the clits hit the Vermont mountains on the weekends..I'm hoarding my vacation days for winter/spring skiing..

No. I'm not afraid - done it many times. But I'm not psyched about taking a vacation day to drive 3 hours to ski a WROD in the rain when all indications point to the potential that waiting a week might result in more terrain being open.

Next week looks promising starting Sunday for serious snowmaking. With T-giving 2.5 weeks away, I would think they'd really crank it up next week. Right now, were looking at going up either Tues or Wed. Chance for snow showers Mon/Tues, If they're making snow then, midweek into the weekend may be solid. That's the bet were making right now.
