Blue Trails at Killington

Planning on going to Belleayre this weekend. Despite temps in the 60s, their website shows that they're still planning on opening this Saturday. However, 2 years ago, they had been anticipating an opening date for the same weekend, and at the last minute, they changed their mind and delayed the opening for another week or two, so I'm keeping Killington in mind as a backup. K's website shows that no green trails will be open. Sadly for me, I consider myself an intermediate skier who likes to do some warm-up runs on green trails, especially for the first time in the season. With that in mind, how do Killington's blue trails compare to other resorts' blue trails? What would be the easiest of the blue trails there for me to try? Thanks in advance.

nothing green. the terrain is easy blue but can ski a little tougher due to early season conditions. from the snow report:

Killington will offer Blue Square (more difficult) and Black Diamond (most difficult) trails only. No Green Circle (easier) terrain will be available.

First thing in the morning you won't have any trouble. Great Northern is a green all the way down to Middle Chute and Bunny Buster, neither of which are what I'd call hard blues. As the day wears on, traffic may push up the bumps, and it could get a tad more challenging, but by then you should be more than ready for it.

GN was fine down to chute on Saturday. There were some whales on chute that could create some problems. All bets are off after the last two days though.
