A minute from the Alta exit off the I-15!
On Fridays they run everything they would on a weekend day (sometimes not the Snowdon triple tho).

Killington Friday with all the lifts running and all the trails open is AWESOME. So cool they do that, even though guest demand usually doesn't warrant running 3-4 additional lifts

Going next week on Mon and Tuesday. Are there any lifts that don’t typically run mid week?

Yes and Canyon and the North Ridge Quad usually alternate with each other Mon-Thurs.

North ridge runs everyday, canyon normally runs everyday except Tuesday and Thursday, but staffing has had it running a bit less this year.

I'll still prob buy it. k is just so convenient and goes so far into may. could scheme a bday present from the missus of it maybe.

The spring pass is/was/has been HUGE for the resort. I got it the first or second year they tried it and it was $200. The popularity of it has only increased exponentially since then. As Kusty said, it's a very nice tie-in with Ikon. I did the same thing last year, my first year without a full K pass in a while.

The money that the resort makes per day with Ikon has been debated hugely here. I'm sure someone who uses 5 days of Ikon and then 5 days on the spring pass is a very profitable customer. If they're not buying f/b, the resort probably makes more money on a per-day basis on that than someone who buys a Killington-only season pass and uses it 25+ days.

Blowing snow on all of ovation tonight, including headwall, gotta make that spring pass more enticing after the price increase!

Dude everything will be fucked after rain Thursday night and refreeze. Best you can hope for is frozen groomers next weekend. Or maybe find out where they will be making more snow and hit those trails.

I wouldn't give up all hope yet, will be snow on the backside of the storm Thursday night. Enough to make a difference? That remains to be seen.
