Karl and I went to the big K this past weekend.
First off, Killington please stop abusing your defenseless snow! WAY WAY WAY too much grooming. The trails for the most part sucked this past weekend. Conclusion had a short stretch of decent bumps, but for the most part the rest of the mountain was nothing but GS slush piles. Total crap.
But in the end it didn't matter because there was a TON of snow left in the woods. Even steep tree areas had plenty of cover, but required some thrilling hike outs at the bottom. Anyway, that's where we spent the weekend, in the woods. Plenty of nice tight lines in there. And few skiers.
So we had a great time. I think it was the best tree skiing I had all year...which just means I spent too much time at Hunter where it hardly snowed this winter.
Nonetheless, it was a great weekend.
