Park on access road and hop right onto the trail even if you show up at noon as long as you have your own gear. Vale lot you can park at late and get a good spot on Saturday too but then you have to wait on the ramhead lifeline which is ridiculous on busy days. As kusty said, no need to take K1 ever. I only ever ride it midweek to go to the peak bar.

100 from warren to killington scares the shit out of me in weather. 50 miles of winding country road with zero cell service

My first trip ever to Sugarbush was after a snow-storm (we had more snow in NJ/NY than VT did with that one...but it still snowed enough to cover all the roads in VT). The snow had stopped and the roads were somewhat plowed in VT by the time I got that far, but it was also starting to get dark by that point. Definitely an interesting first time driving that stretch of 100. I remember my brother looking at his phone while I was driving on 100 and seeing no cell service and saying to me "where the hell are you taking me?" Of course back then even once you got to the MRV the cell service was still spotty. I barely had 1 bar in the parking lot of the condo we stayed in...just enough to call my parents and let them know we made it!

Would be nice if they did get some cell service on that stretch of 100. AT&T does have coverage in several spots along that route...but VZW absolutely sucks.

I went to high school in Waitsfield, lived in Western MA.

Huge piece of ice flew off a truck in front of me on Route 7 in VT and hit my radiator. Didn't know there was an issue until Route 100 north of K. Had to keep pouring what water I had in to get up to the Valley. Pretty but desolate ride for sure. Tough topology to get cell service on once the road enters the "canyon" there towards the end.

It’s wet and heavy. Slow going. Saw more tumbles and popped-off skis this morning than I have in a long time.

Well that will help the skiing for the rest of the week, especially on the natural (or low tide snowmaking) trails. Any rope drops?

It's just amazing the human race survived before 1990.

This season's pass. You cannot use next season's pass at Partner Resorts, only Alterra owned areas.

Tractor trailer fell off a driveway..then a power line pole came down..time to turn around..and..another truck slid sideways..and a car with no snow tires trying to get up the hill....took a little while to get back to 89..then all good...skied a few hours in the glop.but too heavy. Tomorrow will be better...unless jay gets a lot..they may be all snow today..
Just stopped snowing at my house.

 

[slatham]
