Well after skiing at Killington last weekend I can tell all that there is plenty of snow on Superstar. The snow is as high as the chairlift about halfway up the trail. Skye Lark should also make it into May with all the snow that they made on it during the winter. The skiing should be good for May 1st weekend.

Sounds like a plan....

Where does everyone stay?

I'd drive up Friday night..stay over, ski and drive home Saturday night....it's only 4 1/2 for me....

Maybe I should stay over Saturday and have a cocktail instead...Anyone ever been to the long trail inn?

I stayed at the Red Robb inn late season last year. It was cheap nothing fancy they had a late season rate, outdoor hot tub. Looked like a 1970's thing. There were rooms with many beds options. I got one with 4 beds. You could see the mountain from the front door. I will be staying with my grandmother I will not be getting lodging. After this I will be driving towards Sr meeting up with the May 1st Crew.

If a bunch of us don't rent a place, I stay at the Cascades. Nice enough place and real close to Snowshed and Ramshead.

I never book a room w/o consulting tripadvisor first.

And it looks like they've got a deal doing on

Does that mean the kids ski free as well?

I stayed at the Cascades Lodge for the first time over last weekend. The place is decent and the rate was $83.50 per night including a full breakfast. It is very close to Snowshed and is located just down the mountain road a bit from the Killington Grand.

Looks like plenty of lodging options know. I always go for the cheapest that is not a dive. If I have my kids I need a pool.

I believe there's a hot tub and sauna as well.

Now I have a big decision to make ....NYC Bike Tour or an end season Killington trip.
