Killington Monday 11-3

[powhunter]

Date(s) Skied: Monday 11/03/08

Resort or Ski Area: Killington, VT

Conditions: Man made snow, some bumps, fog

Trip Report:

Got to the gondi around 9:30. Took a few runs down rime and east fall. Met up with Madskier and 2knees @11:30. Proceeded to lap rime and east fall. Snow was soft and there was plenty of coverage. Had the cabrawlers today and started to dial em in. Kept hitting the "string" of bumps on skiers right on east fall not bad for opening day!!! Took a break to refuel....and took the Bob Marley express ;-) back to the top. Did a few more runs...stopped at the top of royal flush checking it out (there was a little death ribbon) blown off GN) So as we are checking it out a mountain ambassador stops and pretty much dares us to poach it!! WTF?? Did a few more runs then saw a bunch of kids from KMS doing some training on the groomers. One of em had the new hart f-17s...Called it quits around 3. Great skiing with the madman again!!! Pat was ripping the bumps as usual!! Madskier had the crash of the day!!! Those guys shot a bunch of video...Pat will probably post later. All and all It was a pretty good day!!!

Can't wait to see the video! Nice work roping madskier into the trip with you. He's a real fun guy to ski with.

That was a great day. I'm so glad I "got roped into going" today. Well worth the trip. Great skiing with powhunter & 2knees, as always. I've quieted the ski jones for a little while & am glad to have gotten my first day of the season under my belt. I'm definitely looking forward to the video, especially the footage of my wipeout. It was a very fun yard sale. Thanks for a great day, guys! :lol:

I knew they would have really had to twist your arm.

 

[2knees]

great day. so happy to start the season.

Nice video and good song..I haven't heard that Dead song since college..the difference between yesterday and today is nice and day..

Yesterday: Hardpack, crowds, sunshine
Today: Fog, soft snow, no people..

 

[Glenn]

Nice vid! I still can't beleive people have been out this early. I'm seriously jealous.

 

[o3jeff]

Nice to see you guys got out. Where you the only people there?

 

[roark]

Nice job Pat. Never figured you for a hippie. Amazing how quickly it's thinning down low tho.

 

[wa-loaf]

Nice early season bump action.

Amazing how quickly it's thinning down low tho.

Fog really does a number on snow, probably worse than rain.

 

[bvibert]

Nice work on the video guys. The skiing looked good too. Not to sure about that hippie music though...

Oh yeah, nice wipe out Jeff!

Had a blast. ride there and home is so much quicker when you arent by yourself. The wipeout looks good, although i did shut the camera off when i saw you going down. I must've been quicker on the trigger for steve's crash cause it wasnt in the footage.

place was empty.

the fog was only till about the middle of the glades then it was the sun that would be the enemy. it was damn warm at the bottom.

[powbmps]

Man, that looks like fun! Glad you guys got some bumps. Trail report showed everything groomed. Good thing they missed the sides :-D. That red jacket really "pops" in the video.

Not rough at all. Some great day one skiing. I guess you guys remember how to do it! Nice dirty trough bumpin'. Loved madskier6's spectacular wreck. Looks like he skied over a land mine and got blowed the eff up... :lol:
