Killington 05/19 Hike for Turns

[andyzee]

The weather doesn't look to promising this week, but if the snow holds up we plan on doing Killington this coming Saturday and wanted to see if there are any other madmen out there . On the way back from Tux we stopped at K for some burgers on the Grill, here's how it looked:

No kielbasas? Did you try to hike Superstar for some turns? What happened to all the snow from last week?

I'm out for next weekend. Have to stay in town. Let me know how it unfolds at K though. I admire your fighting spirit despite the warm weather.

Nope, all we had were burgers.
Wanted to try Superstar, so inviting, but legs were still a bit sore from Tux and did have to get on the road home.
Snow from last week did go quick, hard the believe what a difference one week could make.

Judging by the look of Superstar right now on the Killington Cam, you might have some decent snow on the lower part of the trail, though the area of melting around the second lift tower in your picture is now nearly all the way across the trail. Upper Cascade still looks solid with good cover from around the summit to the old mid station area.

FWIW it has been cool and damp here....some warmth yesterday and earlier today. That snow is not going to disappear to quickly...I don't think at least....snow on K-mart still visible from I-89 in Randolph.

I was busy the last few weeks. I was in Florida two weekends then was busy grading. I have that shoulder operation on Thursday so the season's definitely over.

Once again, best of luck, let us know when your ready to bike, maybe we'll get a ride together. Or better yet, we can take our bikes up to Cape Cod. Snowmonster, likes to head up there with lil monster, good people!

Well, looks like they lost a lot of snow, the weather doesn't look to promising, so I guess I'll skip this weekend. Maybe we'll try for Mount Washington agian next weekend. Damn, gonna have to admit the end is here, just not today
