I wasn't expecting that.
The only logical thing I can see is coming back online again tonight, hoping the high day temps this week don't bake it off, then coming back online possibly Thur night def Friday night hoping for a weekend opening.
Please, the real deal. Yeah, ok, not even down to the great northern crossover on Rime. Perhaps they are trying to lay something on the unload and maybe the upper wrap around d of great northern, but this is far from them being able to open.
The Killington Bike Park will be open an extra weekend, October 15 and 16 from 10:00 a.m. 4:30 p.m. with trails serviced by the Snowshed Express Quad, Ramshead Express Quad, and K-1 Gondola.
I think they'll open up Saturday PM (passholders only, of course) then shutdown for the week. It's 10am and the guns are still going with two more suitable nights of snowmaking that are forecasted to be cooler than last. If they get 8 hours snowmaking tonight and another 8 hours on Friday that's 20ish hours of snowmaking.
I really don't think this is a test. All the guns on North Ridge are staged, and Killington hasn't done an early-season snowmaking PR stunt in ever, that I can recall.
