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

[powbmps]

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

Does he come here often? Last post was 12/17.

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.

well i did a search and found 9 trip reports from allskiing going going back to 2008. i know he has skied it before then and probably skis it more than he reports.

oh who gives a damn what highwayjar thinks.

he was still playing with his barbie dolls and crapping his huggies when devils fiddle was actually open on a regular basis. he's a petulant little child.

I'm not taking the word of someone who barely goes in the trees, like allskiing.

You are a bitter, bitter man :razz:.

i'm certainly not arguing as i think these debates are pointless. but what does allskiing skiing the trees have to do with a debate over fiddle? i have never skied it. is fiddle gladed? doesn't look like it from that video.

ALLSKIING skis Killington all the time. So does his wife and so do his kids. They are good skiers, especially ALLSKIING, although I did school him pretty good at MRG in the spring last season.

You got nothing on him Kevin. Nothing. I've seen you both ski. You got nothing on ALLSKIING, unless of course you consider sitting in the back seat while doing mandatory GS turns down Snowshed an accomplishment. In that dept, you got him beat, but that's about it dood. Quit while you're behind.

(Actually, I just wanted to post in this most historic thread.)

and let's not forget this classic demonstration of hs' skiing prowess from the fiddle:

LOL....Last time I checked, you're all talk, and talk is cheap. You've never seen me ski. I know who the top skiers are at Killington (myself included), and you're not one of them.

You're one of the top skiers at Killington? :lol: Like Top 50 or Top 10? Top 5? Or are you simply just the BEST skier at Killington? :grin:

Now that's funny. If nothing else, gotta give it to HighwayStar for entertainment value. A+.

As far regulars (locals or ski house/weekenders) not including KMS or instructors, probably well within the top 20 or 30 on any given day.

 

[deadheadskier]

I will say three things:

1. Devil's Fiddle is a great trail and could be argued as the best wide trail in the east. To argue one's opinion that it's the best and say others are wrong is well, let's just call it Highwaystar.

2. It definitely should see more snowmaking to help it open. Having such a great trail that has snowmaking remain closed as often as it is is a shame for Killington skiers.

3. Someone needs to update wikipedia. It's a travesty that this is all you get http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway_Star.

I'm dead serious, wiki needs to pay homage to Highwaystar with a bio and while we're at, put him in the dictionary as well. The dude is like Action Jackson, his name should be a verb.

 

[skiadikt]

btw what ever happened to the much anticipated sundown ski-off.

Highway Star vs. Chuck Norris?

This is you, right?



Any more current video? I'd like to see more of one of Killington's best.

Allskiing??? Are you talking about this guy? The one who eats it at 0:50 and skis by at 1:40?

Nothing too impressive, but it'll give you the idea:



Gonna finish chugging this beer, then off to bed!

Riiiiight.....

Again, in the dark red jacket:



Personally, I'm not impressed. But maybe this passes as good sking on A-zone.
