Just got in from Killington and in case anyone is on the fence about skiing tomorrow, I wanted to report - GO!!! Sugarbush was sweet Friday. Could find freshies all over, everything very skiable. Started on Lincoln Peak, did everything there, then did everything on Castlerock including a very tough Rumble. Middle Earth was skiing great! No crowds at all anywhere. After a few more runs we finished the day with a Steins, Mall, Twist send off! Ouch! What a great hill! Thank God Mike and Melinda at the Golden Lion had the hot tub cranked!
Saturday we were off to Killington and the Sunshine Daydream Festival. Great athomosphere at the hill and a pretty solid crowd. Could always find a short lift line and with all the terrain open the trails were not crowded. After missing Andy Z, we zipped up the K1 and did some off piste off Ridge. We then decided to go to Bear, and work our way back to the K1 Base Lodge. Did all the classics, usually just once, and kept moving. The snow was great everywhere so it didn't matter. Did the Fiddle, Outer Limits, etc off Bear. Needles Eye, Vertigo (twice, it was good) Bitersweet, off the Skyship. Upper Superstar, Superstar, Ovation and a really tough Julio off of Superstar Chair. From 2:00 on we lapped the K1. Don't really like Gondis but Downdraft, Cascade, the run with Canyon Chair and adjacent woods were great! Did Powerline. Great two days of skiing again.
Checked out "Playin Dead" with an amazing rendition of Shakedown Street, but unfortunately had to get rolling so cut my Apres ski short.
Definitely my best April ever. Can't miss at Killington or the Bush tomorrow. Get there early. The lots are filling up and you can end up walking a bit.
