Killington Get Together

[Vortex]

It's not to suprising that Killington is down to just 8 trails, as the trails that are now open have very deep snowcover. Superstar And Skyelark had really deep cover when I was there 10 days ago. I would guess that Superstar has 15' of cover in some spots. They probably lost the Cascade runout for the Canyon Quad, as it was really thin on April 10th. Killington likes to keep trails interconnected, or they close mountain areas down.

This was your thread does this mean your still coming?
Peer pressure.

Oh yes I am still coming, I was just explaining that they probably closed so many trails because the hot weather melted the snow on the connecting trails/crosscuts.

Ok then I will be there also. Already told a relative I will be staying there Friday night. I might bring some tailgating gear for this event. :idea:

I just made my hotel reservation for next weekend, so of course in doing so I guaranteed rain for all of next weekend :roll:

We are staying at Cortina Inn as we got a really cheap rate of $51.99 per night on Yahoo travel. The hotel is asking $145.00 per night for the exact same room.

I'll be at K on May 6 or 7th. Hitting SR ion the 1st and only Bob R is crazy enough to drive to K on 4/30 and then to SR for 5/1.

 

[loafer89]

So who is going up to Killington at this point? They look to have survived the rain okay at this point.

 

[Charlie Schuessler]

Unless it's pouring rain, I'll be there...

Glad to see Ga2ski over here. Yea I'll be at K on Sat and with the Family Sunday at Sunday River. May be it for me at that point. The following weekend being Mothers day weekend.

Loafer89, Do want to pick a time and place this is your thread? I'll be there. :beer:

 

[loafer89]

Well I want to try to coax my son down one of the open trails, so the earlier the better, as they will probably be grooming some of the terrain. Why don't we meet at 8:30am at the Superstar HSQ, or is someplace else better?

Hopefully I won't keep dragging behind you guys, as I am not the fastest mogul skier in the world, I like to pick my route wisely 8)

How about KBL between 8:30 & 9:00?

 

[loafer89]

That sounds perfect, as I want to take a run with my son down Skyelark first thing at 8:00am if it's been groomed.

I like 8.30 also early is good. How bout the deck in front of the outside electric sign? at the base lodge. (Superstar chair and trail will be to the left as you look out and Gonlola to the right as you look out) Don't worry about your pace moguls are not on my diet either. May be a slow day.

 

[loafer89]

That seems like the perfect meeting spot.
