killington proposed opening nov. 1

[mondeo]

Great Northern and Rime are not steep, and Cascade is top to bottom or nothing. There's nothing really special about Killington's early season terrain. I think it just gets more attention vs. Sunday River because K is much more accessible from CT and NY and there's a pretty good sampling of vocal regulars and locals posting on this board.

Read. Steeper, not steep. North ridge chair is 590'/2300', the numbers available to me at the time were 500'/2600' for T2. And Cascade is not T2B or nothing, along with Downdraft Great Northern cuts across it after a couple hundred feet of vert. There's nothing special about it, but:

That's kinda silly... what they have blown snow on at K so far sucks in comparison to even 500 vert of T2 at SR.

That seems a bit much. Especially when Killington has at least three trails of that length ready to go.

SR = +1

ok, point taken on Cascade, I forgot the headwall. I'm not so sure about the numbers on T2 vs. Rime though, at least in my mind T2 is the steeper run. Regardless SR is T2B now anyway. Photo from their Facebook page attached.
