Are you the guy who climbs for all runs?

I climb/hike (spring through fall) and I will be hiking to check out the Brandon gap near Killington in Vermont this winter I feel : ) For the mountains that have it I do Love good side country that you can make it back to near lift areas even with a mild walk(Smugglers & Stowe).

I did take a look and it looks like summer and fall there unfortunately.

Are you the guy who climbs for all runs?

No. I climb only if lifts aren't running. (Early season, late season and in weather too ugly to run lifts).

Hadn't realized that Juggernaut's been off the map for 4 years.

Which GBA/RASTA zone would you recommend for first timers in the backcountry?

 

[MidnightJester]

It seems the Brandon gap has one of the nicest access to multiple "ground cleared gladed and cut runs" that has a good support network (people around if you get in trouble). I am only picking up on these from some of the writings/posts I have found and a video or two.

And not a single person has missed it.

 

[BodeMiller1]

No. I climb only if lifts aren't running. (Early season, late season and in weather too ugly to run lifts).

The more I ski and spend time in the mountains the more I cut out early from the ski area and find a place to explore in the woods. The woods are lovely dark and deep; and always have something new to reveal. Plus it's fun to hang out with the Huffingtons.

 

[BodeMiller1]

And not a single person has missed it.

Serious question, how long was the 10 mile trail?

I'm going with 5.4 miles.

I liked at the Whites and some of the Greens today. I see no snow. It's early, butt Killington needs to lay down the white ribbon of death for the ladies. I think Humpty goes to the race. So, it is imperative SS skis like ice. Meow

 

[MidnightJester]

Has anyone here ever taken advantage of Killington's free summer camping in a few of their parking lots? They let you come set up a tent and all it appears including fire rings : )

The open lots are an interesting marketing...
Many times youts sleep in their cars or make a snow cave out of plowed snow. Then they get buried and die. I wonder if this led to this.

Medium range weather models starting to show some cold mid/late next week. Hope they verify and it holds…..

Hmmmmm

Will Killington Have Enough Snow For The World Cup?

Killington Resort (Vermont) was ecstatic that they were able to get their snowmaking operations underway a couple of weeks ago. The resort wasn't able to

unofficialnetworks.com

 

[drjeff]

Unofficial networks has about as much credibility at operations predictions as Skiology Matt does.

If 2 weeks from now, we're still in this warm pattern, then I'd start to question if Killington will or won't be able to host the WC races November 26/27.

The snowmaking firepower that they have on Superstar is arguably (or maybe beyond argument worthy) greater than on any other trail in the World. So if mother nature gets her act together the later half of the next 2 weeks, I'm betting on the mtn ops folks at Killington getting it done

 

[KustyTheKlown]

unofficial networks is actually less credible than matt. they are really that bad.

 

[Newpylong]

I read the article and was wondering what the point was. You mean time is running out? No sh*t

 

[BodeMiller1]

Here's the problem (and this will change, maybe), even though the wind is coming out of the North it's pulling down air from the oceans that are too warm this time of year.

The link below shows the outlook from NOAA for the next month. Butt, let's face it not many forecasts have been accurate 3 days out for months. So, can there's that.
