I had so much fun on Monday, I returned today. The warm weather of the last few days took its toll on Upper East Fall, with a 20 foot brownish stretch to get to the moguls. The moguls were fun but there was some breakthrough to dirt in the troughs. Rime and Reason were both fine. No line at any time during the day. In the early PM, it began to flurry above 3000' and light rain below that. There was still a little natural snow in the woods above 3500'.
Never-the-less, the prudent use of snowmaking ensured an adequate base so that there was no need to close operations. Kudos to Killington's management and snowmakers.
The snowmakers were connecting hoses in the PM in prep for tonight when snowmaking temps should return.
I noticed that the access road from East Mountain Road to the Bear Peak Base Area has been repaved over the summer. That road was pretty rough and that paving job was way overdue.

Nov. 10, 2014 - Mon.
The regulars with whom I hang out at Killington were still buzzing about how jammed it was on Sat. the 8th. Lines on the North Ridge: About 30 minutes. I figured with SR, Sugarloaf, Wildcat and BW being added to the "open list" it would have taken a lot of pressure off of Killington. Apparently, not.
Today was busy. The lift line disappeared by 1 PM, but it was a steady 3 to 5 minutes all morning. Some schools apparently gave Monday off to make a 4 day weekend, which ends tomorrow with Veterans Day.
It was nice not to have to hike down the Peak Stairway with Upper Great Northern open. All runs were resurfaced and groomed, but by the PM, moguls were reappearing on Upper East Fall. Cover was excellent with the exception of a thin spot or two at the top of Upper Double Dipper.

The skiing today was fine, but the noise was over-the-top. The North Ridge was blanketed with the old (very noisy) snow guns. I don't think there was a place between the Summit and the bottom of the North Ridge where the ambient background noise was safe for the guests. It was impossible to have a conversation on the lift.
I left really early and I notice that my ears are still ringing
Does anyone know: Are there standards for ambient noise?

Was their a concert going on. I think it keeps ringing I would go to a ear doctor. I been by plenty of Loud snowmaking machines and never had thaqt happen. Hope all is well.

A concert going on? Great question! I guess if you weren't there, it was a symphony of snowmaking. If you were there it was pure cacophony. As an early season regular, I too have been by many a snowmaking machine, but I've never seen the guns at this density with no place to go to get out of the noise, short of climbing the Peak Stairway and going into the Summit Lodge. The normal exits: Ridge Run, Killink, etc. all had guns going too.
Thank you for your concerns about my hearing. The ringing has mostly abated by the morning.
