Sat will be the more happening day. Me thinks there are quad pack tix out there that will show up. I'll squeeze every last minute out sun. Likely last day of season for me.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if people are trying to sell or even give away quad pack tickets in the parking lot on Saturday. I'm curious to see the "Pizza and Pint Pavilion" that they plan on setting up at the base of Steins...

So is the Cat done? No bragging rights of last in NH if they throw in the towel.

Supposedly they are opening this weekend, and an outside chance of the following weekend if it stays cold.

This weekend looks beautiful with bluebird skies predicted and temps in the upper 50s & 60s. T his weekend we'll have the Wildcat Pub Open only for F&B and we'll have live music on Saturday with Live Steer playing some sweet covers. Ski school, rentals and nursery programs are finished for the season.

Check back with us by Thursday for updates on our plans for weekend lift operations. Our Operations team will be working hard to keep our snow surfaces in shape so we can provide you the best skiing and riding conditions possible.

Wishing all a great week and look forward to seeing you for another Wildcat Weekend

We could be done but not 100% sure. Commitments in the flatlands this weekend, but am considering going up next weekend pending the weather / what it looks like up at Killington.

But if I'm done, I'm OK with getting the bike out.

Ever since I went skiing in Austria, I've always wished American mountains would set up actual on-slope bars. So I think I'll head out on Saturday just for the chance to see/drink at this.

I'll be there! Heading up tomorrow after work. I've convinced myself that I can't pass up this weekend.

Was up there yesterday, great spring conditions. Got to poach some soft bumps. Looks like the gondola base area is on it's last legs, large area of mud and bare spots. Superstar glacier is still massive, they claim 30 foot as of 3/1, it's still tall (hard to say the actual height given there's no marker to the soil).

Highline had some good soft bumps yesterday. Can't see it making it past today maybe Saturday. Rumor is that the K1 is done after this weekend and then it will be just the superstar area. They will lose some over there as well -launch pad/upper part of bittersweet for sure.

Ok, since this thread has turned into a bit of a killington thread, here are some pics from yesterday.

Highline. This softened up well before superstar. I entered by ducking a rope, and it was getting thin there, but there is also access from Conclusion. I'm not sure how that entrance is holding up.

Superstar. This is where the better lines were found. Unfortunately it was only bumped up on skiers right a bit above the bottom headwall to the bottom. Hopefully they let more of the trail bump up over the weekend.

Superstar.

After I ducked the rope, I saw a patroller and was trying to get my story in order... he was on top of the bump field but seemed pre occupied about the line he was going to take. So I just went by and took the the line ahead of me.

Turns out lots of people were poaching it, just before lunch you can see it riding up superstar.

I saw a patroller also. I believe it was officially open, but from a different access point.

Yes it was roped off at the plowed up snow bank but 20 feet down after the lift you could enter. The entrance was thin and a little iced up. No real reason to duck the rope though.
