3. all killington. 11/24, 11/28, 12/5. thankful for my max pass, because otherwise i'd be pretty iffy about these early season conditions. probably taking this weekend off. hopeful for snow around the 19th through end of month.

Wow, used a good chunk of your 5 Killington days on early season.

fine by me. i pretty much loathe killington and only respect them for their early/late season commitment. i do most of my skiing in northern vermont, and bought the max pass mainly to accommodate a few western trips (brighton in january, copper/winter park/steamboat february, big sky march), so the eastern days are really just bonus.

my first day at killington they never scanned my card, and the lift broke down 3 hours after i started, so they gave me a voucher. so i still have 3 days on my MAX pass at K, plus the voucher. i also got that champlain valley $170 card, so there's a bunch of noVT, noNY, NH days on there, so theres gonna be a smuggs/bolton weekend, a mad river weekend, a jay/burke weekend, a magic/stratton weekend, a cannon/loon weekend, a gore/whiteface weekend. heading to loon and sunday river over christmas. lots of pre-paid skiing to do at places other than k, theres only so many days. and i still have 5 to use at pico, which i generally prefer to killington anyway. i probably wont be back at killington again until late season when its the only game in town.

Logged Day #7 today and got my season Trace Snow vertical total past 100k feet :) Too bad that mother nature's fickleness has made it that over 95% of that vertical occurred on the same 2 top to bottom routes at Mount Snow that I've lapped a cumulative 67 times so far this year :eek:

Well still at 3 days - was looking at last year at this time and I was at 5. So running a tad bit behind but still room to make those up!
