it's a beautiful run.
Didn't mean to sound condesending. trying to help a brother out.

Fair enough. If I was looking to ski trees, I would have skied trees though.

For all his posturing, Greg is a Killington NOOOb.

First skied there in '95 so I'm not a newb, but nowhere near an expert, or even all that knowledgeable of the place. I freely admit that. Just discussing it as I see it. Didn't know I needed to be a pass holder or ski the place 50 days a year to give an opinion.

I first skied there in 1987. Thanks for playing.

And it's inconsistent with several breaks. You can laugh if you want, but Gunbarrel at Sundown is about exactly the same pitch and length of Escapade and it had continuous bumps the whole way. Surly, Killington can do better than a little molehill in CT.

Run the Canyon Quad and only half groom that atrocity that is Double Dipper. Problem solved.

fwiw downdraft historically has been left bumped more so than the other canyon runs.

Downdraft is an awesome bump run, but they've pretty much groomed it all season. As a groomer, it sometimes has the best snow surface in the canyon.
