After missing the first holiday storm on Halloween, no way I was going to take strike two and miss the Thanksgiving storm! Last minute call to head up solo this morning at 5:00am. Little sketchy but made pretty good time. Powderhounds were out early for the 10-12” of dense snow, totally bumped up everywhere in the afternoon. I’m sure they will probably groom a lot out. Too bad there wasn’t a cold front coming in because the snow stuck everywhere. Would be great to keep those guns pumping. Although the warmer weather should make for an excellent weekend at Killington.

Some shitty pictures I took in the middle of the day. First few runs were just go get it, and I never pulled it out later when everything got bumped up. I know I’m beat to hell……..met some cool K regulars today sharing some lift rides and a couple runs.
Happy Thanksgiving!

they got about this much snow

2 - Powerline
3 - Reason/Upper East Fall
4 - Ridge Run
5 - Mouse Trap

I'll try to do a better job in the trip forum, but I am way last minute a-lot........we'll definitely have to hitch up one of these days though.

Good score reef!!

wish you could have been there


You should have a great weekend at your institution. Hope there's not too many little people there........



Powhunter, sorry dude, you were one day too early, What a difference a day could make..

I'll say. Nice pics Andy. Was semi-looking for you........figured you were there.


Awesome mogul building snow
Steveo

sure was!

Nice going...to you both.

...again, got lucky. Driving into a storm usually isn't the smartest thing. Luckily made great time to Concord, then the snow line hit and it was pretty much 50mph the whole way up 89 to VT. Many cars bit it.

It looks like less snow on one table than another. So is that total natural snow there d'ya think?

The one in back is total snowfall! The front one was brushed off earlier in the day. An inch or two fell during skiing hours Wednesday..........
