A couple of years ago we got a dumping - like 2 ft on October 29th into the 30th and we headed to Killington. Naturally, they had the Gondola running but the only open trails were those serviced by North Ridge Triple. However, we could see that there was good coverage and opted to try a run to the bottom. It was so much fun ducking the ropes that we never skied the North Ridge Triple. We did see a guy bite it on some rocks that were below surface. We actually skied runs that already had first tracks.

We too wanted to help out by thoroughly checking out the closed trails and pack it down for the next snowfall so they could open the trail sooner.

I was there that day too. Some of those were mine probably.
