Killington: Devil's Fiddle - will it see snowmaking this year?

[mondeo]

Yes, it is the best trail in the east. Name another trail at a resort (not a glade) which is better.....

Heck, I don't even know I'd consider it the best trail at Killington.

Ok, so what's the best trail (actual on the map trail, not glade) at Killington?

Depends on the day. Sometimes, O.L. Needle's lift line is up there. Escapade is good. Other days Devils Fiddle is the best.

The fallacy of your argument is that there isn't a best trail at Killington or in the East. Everyone is entitled to their favorites. There is no unique solution.

I doubt it!

I'm talking about best overall trail. Even considering that NELL and escapade get more snow and hold snow better (I've skied them both many times this year), Devils Fiddle blows them both away. And you haven't even mentioned the 2nd and 3rd best trails at Killington...!

Overall, to me, I'd call O.L. the best trail at Killington. Tons of lines, about three different distinct fall lines, fairly consistent, steep pitch, and long. It's hard to beat for a bump skier.

i think there should be a SKI OFF!!!!!!










highway star is such a dork.

Fail.

Fail.

Two can play that game.

You're a poo poo head.

My K top 3

3) Dreamaker - when it's not being wasted as a terrain park down low

2) Fiddle - with coverage

1) Catwalk - short, sweet and puts a big smile on my face everytime I hike up and hit it

You guys don't ski Killington regularly and you obviously don't know....

All the brush does is provide a waste of space between the Fiddle and Devil's Den. Due to the shape of the Fiddle and the direction if faces, it traps snow very well regardless of the trees.

The trail only gets narrower for about 200 yards in the lower middle section, by almost half it's original width. The remainder of the trail, top and bottom, is very close to it's original width, with less than 50 feet of growth.

If anything, they should thin out the brush and let it merge better with devil's den.

Yes, it is the best trail in the east. Name another trail at a resort (not a glade) which is better.....

Your such a tool..How do you know where I ski?You don't. Why do you need such a wide trail? Most anything at MRG is better then DF hands down. I don't even what to hear that lame "fail" If you think any different then you must not ski it.

 

[skiadikt]

best?!? nah but the fiddle has character and is certainly one of the more unique and western like runs in the east, particularly with the cliff area. speaking of which and maybe geoff can corroborate, but i kinda remember the fiddle originally running right through the cliff area before they rerouted and widened the upper part (the part running next to outer limits) to make it easier to make snow on.

Looks pretty radtastic to me.

Kickin'. I love watching them rock the straight 200s!

i knew this thread would deliver.

:razz:

 

[campgottagopee]

Nope.

Overall, the Fiddle blows away all those. What it lacks in vert it makes up for in width and variety.

HS, I know your just trolling. Anyway, for me a good/great trail isn't wide---I like 'em narrow and steep.

I take it that you don't ski Killington that much.

While OL can be a great trail at times, I think most regular Killington skiers (except maybe the bump skiers) would not rank it in the top 5 or top 10 of their favorite trails.

Still waiting on response from Spinmaster on the original question - will they make snow on the Fiddle! Will it be anytime soon? Thank you.

DF can be about two feet wide..........if you straightline it ;-).

I'm thinking that silence may speak volumes on this issue
