Killington skiing into June.!

[steamboat1]

Just remember to bring your lunch with you, I went hungry because I didn't want to hike the stairs twice.

There is a food stand open early season at the base of the NRT. Burgers, dogs, snacks & even beer are served.

for those who missed it, after they installed the k1, for a few years they used trucks to move skiers back & forth to the north ridge

Pretty sure Sugarbush did the same thing for a couple of years trucking people up to the Heavens Gate chair early season.

Plattekill had mule skiing on St Paddy's day a couple yrs ago, got off the triple, loaded your skis onto a rack mounted on a utility ATV, got a ride to the top of Blockbuster, pretty cool.

Not this past season. We skied there early season and there was no food stand in place.

That looks like better coverage than I expected compared to those photos from yesterday.

Above the lower section on the flats it is shot!

k opened on monday nov 3 on the north ridge (glades) pod with the stairs and went t-t-b on sat nov 15.

for those who missed it, after they installed the k1, for a few years they used trucks to move skiers back & forth to the north ridge. here's a video i made back in '98 documenting that madness. this was saturday october 24. they shut it down the following day.

Wow they opened that up with fairly thin coverage too!

Yes, I remember you poor souls were still hiking the stairs to wait in line to ride the triple. Meanwhile in New Hampshire we were running express quads with no lines a week before Killington opened to the bottom.

Skiing is skiing. Most people would rather do a shorter drive to hike stairs. Killington has a market on early and late season skiing. I personally will go there early and late because it's a day trip for me.

I was there on Friday and the hot dog sled was there.

And K was open 3 weeks or longer this spring than any NH area.

I think they leave it there permanently now although it's only open early season. Pico also put one in at the base of the Summit chair that was open most weekends this winter.

Ditto! Then again most of Vermont and New Hampshire are driving distance for me.

Wildcat: almost 4 hrs.

How does it take you almost 4 hours to get to Wildcat? I live fairly close to you, and it takes me 2.5 hours.

Really Joshua, you must be a very careful driver! I can make it to SR in just over 3 hours.

There were no stairs in 1998.
