Date(s) Skied: Friday, November 28, 2008

Resort or Ski Area: Killington

Trip Report: Awesome day at Killington. Snow falling at a good clip starting at the access road continuing on the mountain from about 8 to 10. A couple inches on the ground, made everything very soft. Highlights included Great Bear, Superstar, Skylark, East Fall (early on) and trail of the day was Vagabond for me (but I'm a little bias towards that trail). I ventured into some trees but didn't think it was that worth it considering how well the trails were skiing. I was on top of my game from start to finish and had a super satisfying day, still stoked from it. Some pics for the heck of it:

Did you hit Royal Flush? That trail was the best I found all day...

yeah I hit up royal flush, but it was a little too late by the time I saw they opened it. I hit almost every open trail there.

I found that one and almost launched into a group of beginners on Caper. There was one spot that looked flat enough to scoot across but really had a big dip.
