I don't think anything is open. Tons of great glades if there is enough snow though

If they actually got what they reported this weekend it.would be great.

I hope some glades are open.

Just check the trail report - shows all of the glades closed - http://www.killington.com/winter/mountain/conditions/trails

Julio & Anarchy are two that come to mind. I don't know the place that much better than you. But J/A are on the map & up at the peak, so good chance of coverage.

Low rider is closed but that might be your best for coverage.

Their trail report shows no glades open today. 10" base. Wow that sux. Big damages from the thaw I guess.

But they reported 15" last weekend. lol

I'm sure there is enough snow in some of the areas on Snowdon given the combination of snowmaking, natural, and wind. We were in trees there in late November because of the amount that had blown off East Fall, Bunny Buster and others.

That's good to know Tin. Thanx.

The woods won't be open Saturday.

If that doesn't bother you, some of them will definitely be skiable. The woods on Killington peak and Skye peak will have plenty of base and I would expect they'll ski nicely. Killington makes huge snowmaking clouds in those regions and some of these woods do get a decent amount of second hand man made snow.

The woods next to Superstar might even be decent because so much snow guns.

If you want the woods to be wide open I think it's going to take another week.

The woods are filling in well, here is Monday 27 2014 at the top of Skye peak.

Don't tell Tin that. He thinks it did not snow there!

 

[Tin]

I know they got some, but not the reported 15". Someone on here reported 7-8" which would make me venture in.

My favorite. Out of touch with what's going on in Vermont right now as it's the meat of the PA season, but looking forward to getting up there in March and April.

Prepare to hit stumps, rocks, logs and misc snow snakes. There really is very little hard base in the woods to lock things up. Most of the snow up there is compressible, you will hit bottom and run into stuff.

You must have found a nice drift. I was up there on Monday as well and there was not that much out on the trails.

I agree @hawkshot, this is drifty location as well.

Im going to Killington for my first time ever this weekend 1/31-2/2. Any suggestions on what parts of the mountain may be less crowded? What your favorite peak? Last week at Stratton was painful, so many people, spent more time on line for the lift than actually riding.
