There was another pipe issue at the bottom of NR that's why they're shutdown there. SS is just for grooming the headwall so they can see.

edit: they had hoped to keep going making tomorrow possible but it got progressively worse. Thems the breaks (no pun intended).

Do people with Ikon really blow the limited days they have at K on opening weekend? Seems like a waste when the tail end of the season is where they shine.

Sure - if you are basically a Sugarbush or Stratton season pass holder (which is an IKON), why not get in an early day if you have ample K days? Just another thing to add on to the list of things that are lame about these multi resort passes. Sugarbush passholders get many of the same perks and benefits at Killington as the more loyal Killington passholders.

i usually go to k for a silly november north ridge jaunt. in the past i have bought a ticket in advance because it was ~$80 and the ikon day was worth a lot more mid-season. I've probably burned an ikon day at some point. this year i think I'm going to do sugarbush and stratton fri-sat after thanksgiving, and not burn the k day.

lol at hoe and cat in action. Good times. We’ve all been there that are in the industry. Welding in cold and half frozen mud makes beer taste better when done

I have an Ikon pass and am going Friday to use one of my seven days because it's first day of skiing. If I use all 7 days at K plus a lot of days at all the other areas I'll be real happy. I'll buy a K spring pass if I use all 7 days during the winter. I have a full Cannon pass too, hoping to ski 50+ days this winter.

Waaa!

I usually only ski Killington when no one else is open

 

[Zand]

I would be okay burning a day just for North Ridge if it were October and no one else was opening for another month. But no chance I would do it this weekend when T2B runs will be available elsewhere. I'm thinking Loon or SR to kick things off unless Stratton opens by Sunday.

 

[slatham]

I have Ikon base, 5 days. I would consider using 1 early season, though not opening day. Alas I will not be back up for a few weeks and *hopefully* by then there are many options.

My other focus is a dump if SoVT doesn't get it.

But my main focus, especially after this past April and May, is April and May!

I went last year opening day it was fun but packed. I checked out the cam the next day several times (Saturday) and the place was empty.

Stratton seems pretty much set on Saturday the 25th based on their social media activity today

i used to be the same. thought k was only useful for early and late season. i grew up on K, my dad treated route 4 like a flaming lava moat or something, so i didnt experience noVT til college. once i skied mad river, stowe, jay for the first time, i was like pfft killington nope. over the years ive come to love it again tho. it is big and varied and has a lot of great tree skiing. its not that far from home and its proximity to cheap lodging is better than almost every other area. i got love for k

Loon is currently selling tickets for Thursday. Early announcement by K for noon gives either SR or Loon chance to claim first in northeast.

I have full Ikon and have yet to use all my 7 Killington days. I am one of these who usually hits big K in late March - mid April.

I would not be opposed to using one of my days there in early season but I usually don't ski until at least mid - December. Not a big WROD fan.

North ridge when it opens is not usually a wrod but edge to edge.

Still, I like to wait until a hill is mostly open. Unless there are some surprise dumps our first ski will be at SB where we rented a condo starting day after Christmas...

Killington has been green lighted for the FIS races!

Snow control passes, the world cup is on. Now hopefully we don't have to wait a month to get ttb!
