killington 5/6

[2knees]

Date(s) Skied: 5/6

Resort or Ski Area: Killington

Conditions: slush bumps.

Trip Report: first closing day for me ever. unfortunately, it isnt nearly the latest i've skied at killington though. anyway, today was a pretty damn nice way to end the season. spent the whole day on superstar with the exception of one highly interesting run down skye something or other. Found myself in the midst of the infamous highway star. lol. on to more important things though. Superstar was really nice, especially the headwall. All the way to the left had a monster line that was still rippable. way fun even though some of the drops were pretty damn big. middle superstar had been groomed overnight but by 2 or so, had decent lines on it. lower headwall had big bumps that became huge bumps, especially skiers left, by the end of the day.

legs are freakin jello now. i hooked up with madskier on my last run and barely made it down in one piece. had less then zero in the tank. jeff has an awesome style to watch. next year jeff, gotta hit sugarbush or mrg with ya!

i really never judge a skier by two runs (I ended up in His presence on superstar also), but lets put it this way........

So his parents DID give him the keys to the car? :wink: We didn't see him at all...not on our hike even...thought he would have been up there.

From what I heard, he was at the BBQ across the road from the Zoner BBQ.

That's just LAME.

 

[SkiDork]

We went over to say hello. He was suprisingly quiet.

Nothing lame about it, he was just hanging out with the cool kids.

It was great to ski with you Pat, even if it was only 1 run. What a great way to end the season! For not having anything in the tank, you skied very well doing those zipperline moves you do so well.

I got a total of 3 runs in before the lift closed but they were great runs! I also hooked up with AndyZee, trailboss, roark & snowmonster at the end of the day for some cold beverages & BBQ food. Nice to finally meet you all in person. What a great Spring day!

Sorry to have missed you Pat. What everyone else said: Gorgeous day, good way to end the season. Cool to meet some new Kzoners as well as madskier6 and snowmonster. Nice hike to the peak and DD last run.:beer:

i shouldnt have said anything at all. i just couldn't resist.

actually, in all fairness, i should add that he skis very fast and very aggressively. bumps just probably arent his thing. i got nothing against the guy, dont even know him. but when you spout off like he does, i just expected, well, MORE.

 

[snowmonster]

Nice to meet you too, madskier6. Sorry I had to duck out early from the BBQ. Li'l snowmonster had to be back in Boston that evening. Hope to ski with you soon.

Good to hike and ski K with you, roark. Tuck's next weekend?

Andy, nice shot! It's my avatar now. Regards to Vee. See you next week.

Trailboss, good seeing you again and thanks for the pics. Tuck's? Bring Ms. Trailboss along. She and li'l snowmonster can hit the outlets at Conway while we earn our turns.

Good last day at K. With this pass situation being the way it is, it could be my last visit there for a while. Good way to bring down the curtain on the A41. Finally got to the top of Killington Peak. Word of advice to anyone thinking of doing it: do not do it in your ski boots!

Hmm... Looks like this just strengthens [POST="161433"]my theory[/POST] that online big mouths are more often than not...posers... :lol:

 

[Newpylong]

You're right... we don't want him here... topic ended, lol.

Well, I still have a scheduling conflict....and Ms. TB actually said that she does not need to do any shopping :blink:

No need for shopping? Wow! =)

Seriously, the only way li'l snowmonster is coming along is because she has to return some shoes she bought last week at North Conway!

took this off tgr from poster willywhit.

for those who appreciate this kind of thing, this was the absolute money line on the superstar headwall. best line was one over from the edge. You came out of it like you were shot from a cannon. unbelievable for such huge bumps.

here is the thread to further give credit to the original photographer.
