Like I mentioned in a prior post, Killington has never been a favorite mountain of mine.. A few good days though have started to change my opinions, and who know's... maybe some day I'll grow to somewhat even like it.... Still waiting for that deep pow, discounted or compd weekday though...
Date(s) Skied: 3/15 & 3/16
Resort or Ski Area: Killington
Conditions: 3-5" of Wet snow, a slow pow day. Crowds? Did they forget about all the snow we've recieved this winter? The kind of lift-lines that were mostly just held up by the guy scanning tickets....
Trip Report:
We got out pretty early, but by no means first chair.. Most of the popular trails were tracked out by the time I got to them. The less popular ones had plenty of fresh on the sides. We started off over on the spectators right side, Ramshead... I was with my girlfriends coworker(her work trip brought us back up here to the K), the typical winter warrior going out for his first ski trip of the year.. He would stick to the trails, and I would find my way through the woods trails in between... Killingtons base is pretty strong, and many of the woods runs I took were not marked woods trails... I kept an eye out for the fresh lines, and found them.. The snow was wet, and there was a crusty but not icy (frozen corn?) base underneath. We worked our way all the way over to Bear peak by the end of the day.. I found good lines almost all day through the tree's, steep, challenging and technical..
I'll upload some pictures when I get a chance, and will post them here.... or within this thread as a follow up mesg.
