For those who have gone to Killington on opening weekend: what kind of lift lines should I expect on Sunday? I assume "bad" but am wondering just how bad. It could influence my decision of whether or not to drive up for the day.

15-20 minutes probably. Time of day is important though but that will be peak.

I hesitate to say don't bother, but don't expect awesomeness either. I find it odd a bunch of die hard skiers here always complain about walking up stairs.

They've become a bit more definitive on their web site:

October 23, 20134:41 p.m. 10/23/13-- We told you it was game time, and we're not just playing. Killington Resort will open for Season Pass and Express Card holders for an exclusive day of early season skiing and riding on Friday, October 25, 2013. Way to be, passholders. Come get some turns with us!

Never fear, skiers and riders - we're so excited that we just can't hide it, and the plan is to open up for the public on Saturday, October 26, 2013.

The snowmakers are still on the job, still blowing snow and blowing our minds. Check back for updates as they continue to work their magic.

In the meantime, ladies and gentlemen, the Beast is back. Get all the details here.

How many runs could you possibly want to take on one trail. As long as they're serving up burgers & beers on the lift line things will be fine.

Did it last year, lots of natural bumps, taking different lines each time makes for a fun 4 hours. It is also the most awesome die hards all over the place so the positive vibes are off the charts. It keeps the cry babies home ;-)
