Itโ€™s so bad, it's good. It amazing how much was filmed at Killington, and how bad the actor playing the GM was. I am surprised that Killington let them portray the mountain iin such a bad way.

I saw this terrible movie many years ago. Loved it for the K scenes, so I guess I'll have to skim through it again when time permits. Don't really remember a thing about it....

Meanwhile, back in realityโ€ฆ
Up at K for two days. The first (today) with Just Fine, Thanks. Started with frozen corduroy on many trails which was chopped into fine, skiable dust by lunch. Lots of snowmaking going on (pic directly above is Needleโ€™s Eye). Theyโ€™ve dropped a lot of ropes (100+ open trails today) but it looks like theyโ€™re saving a bunch more for the weekend. I think the inch of fresh that was going to fall has fallen. Looking forward to tomorrow.

Today was quite good. A couple of inches overnight plus massive snowmaking plus some pushing around of the ice dust created yesterday equals winter. Soft man-made bumps under blue skies on Skyeburst were ROTD. The weekend should beโ€ฆ crowded.IMG_3642.jpeg

Assuming they were a Large group that went out together backcountry or too many groups followed the wrong tracks off the backside into powder. Atleast they have the idea of always skiing and riding with a buddy in the woods and Backcountry

KILLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) - Around 2:30 p.m. on Saturday first responders safely rescued 21 skiers and snowboarders, including six juveniles, from the backcountry in Killington. According to the Killington Police Department, team members hiked and snowshoed approximately five miles in frigid temperatures to assist in evaluating and bringing those lost back to safety.

As teams were ready to clear, another call came in for two more skiers who were lost in the backcountry. Several rescue crews returned into the woods to bring them out safely, around 7:30 p.m.

Sounds like Killington is a shit show today. Pico is very busy by Pico standards but no line for the Summit Quad and the wind isn't too bad up there.
