I'm bringing in the New Year at Killington. I hope the skiing is good. Has anyone been there in the past week?

Website says 3" so far today. I'll be there on saturday and maybe sunday. (depends on the hangover).

whatever its been lately, it has to be better by the weekend with the cold staying put for the rest of the week. Crowds, now that will be another issue. 350,000 of your closest friends spread out among 12 trails. bring the body armor.

Meet me at Snowshed at 11 for a tour of the mountain.

I might take you up on that (except that your name and beard are a little intimidating). I'll be with a group of 3 others so I'll have to ditch them for a bit. I'll send you a PM with my contact info.

keep the faith
Killington has been awesome early season this year... first place to open, and first place to open up a reasonable amount of terrain to consider it actual skiing..

I've been there twice so far once in early December and once in the end of December. At that point there was really no other place to go with as much terrain and diamonds open especially. It has been a lot of fun both days! Big groups of people from China and Russia and even Puerto Rico were there it was great to meet people from around the world.

Conditions were generally good. Almost entirely man made snow. Skiing under the guns sort of sucks especially but its fun to walk into the base lodge with a beard full of dense snow and looking like frosty the snowman!

Can't say I've ever really preferred Killington before this year.. but they really stepped up their early season game and you have to respect that.
