glad it at least opened though. Lapping the Gondola sucks when Great Northern is the only way down from the summit.[/QUOTE]

I miss the good old days when Cascade was their early season offering.

First days out this coming weekend?

Yeah, been busy with Peter's high school soccer. They lost a heartbreaker in OT 1-0 in the state quarterfinals...first loss of the season. They were defending Class AA state champs looking to repeat. I'm not that upset, it was a brillliant 2 year run where their record was 41 wins, 1 tie and 2 losses in 2 seasons.

They have been blowing on the upper section, Skyelark, and Launch Pad for the past four days and the Superstar Cam looks like a white out this morning. Can't wait for this weekend.

So I'm pretty sure I'm going to head up this weekend. Right now it looks like none of my friends are going to man up. If any AZer wants a ride up with me just meet me somewhere along 91 and throw me some gas money. You don't have to ski with me, I like riding solo anyway. I'm just looking to cut the cost of the drive.

Were you there last weekend? We thought we saw a snowboarder with a Jacket like yours and wondered if it was you.

No, the amount of open terrain wasn't quite enough to make the 3.5 hour drive worth while. I'm like 98% sure I'm going this weekend. Probably Sunday.

When we were there this past Sunday, I was surprised how much the crowds thinned out by the afternoon. The gondola was walk on by 2. If Skye peak opens, that will be a huge bonus.

Killington did not suck today. Snowdon & Northridge triples plus gondi were spinning from the get go this morning. Superstar HSQ opened at noon. Snowdon quad & poma were running but not loading most of the morning. They'll be on line for the weekend I'm sure. Snowshed slope & chair look like they're ready to go also. Upper Skyelark & lower Bitter were open later today because they were able to groom them out this morning. Superstar Headwall & lower Skyelark are ready to go, just need to be groomed out, same thing for lower chute going down to the Snowdon quad. Lots of good skiing today but ROTD was upper chute, skied it quite a few times. Yesterday wasn't bad either but quite a bit more terrain & lifts opened/ran today. Lot had a good amount of cars & there were people on the mountain on but all lifts were walk on both days. Trails not crowded at all, sometimes even empty. Now back in Brooklyn.
