Superstar! - Late April/early May

[Greg]

Okay AZers - we owe it to ourselves to put together a late season Killington trip to rock out on Superstar. Let the discussion begin. A Friday is preferable for me...

i am down though i'd prefer not to blow a vacation day on superstar and limited late season terrain at the mighty K, so i would prefer a weekend but i will take a vaca day if friday is the concensus. i would shoot for late april, i doubt even K will make may this year unless things turn around quick.

I'm in, no brainer here . Weekend is best for me as well, but willing to take a Friday off. Rivercoil, we were both there last May 30th. Any weekend will do, since I'm there most weekends anyway

I'm down with this. As long as my joint holds, i'm in. Although i agree, using a vacation day on this might be the wrong way to go. sat. or sunday could be the way to go. Also, with the current snow situation, mid to late april may be a better target. I wouldnt trust even killington to be open in may.

 

[riverc0il]

actually, i was there may 29th but i think we got similar conditions. i should be there well past their closing this year as well. though with tucks closer, i may only make one treck down there for post season bumps and spend most of my late season earning the sherbie and GoS. jay is closer too, probably another run at the jet this year when those lifts go down.

 

[andyzee]

I was there the 29th and 30th. This may also be the year for me and Tucks.

word. what do you mean "may be" ? start planning!! that will be a seperate trip event planning thread

We've all skied late season. I have at least 3 memorial days at killington under my belt. Other then that, i hope they dont groom ss wall to wall. Usually they will leave at least the bottom half under the chair bumped.

I'll start going there in May, when all the local hills are down. Sat or Sunday for me. I won't burn a vacation day that late in the season.

 

[Marc]

I'm down. And I'd also prefer a weekend day to burning vaca time.


Who's bringing the tailgating supplies??

 

[andyzee]

I'll bring a grill and kishka

I usually bring a grill and stuff like that. I have hooked up the the Kzone folk before. Quite a few cross posters and very friendly crowd in person. Skidork and Tyrolean skier have alway made me feel welcome. Loafer89, Charlie Schussler and I joined one together last year. They had tarps up. You can guess how the weather was. Andy Zee has a nice grill and cooks a mean polish sausage.

I'm in. Would prefer a saturday as well. I'm out on the weekend of May 6-7. May 6th is May Day (weather dependent of course) at Sunday River. But that is a whole other outing.

 

[roark]

I'm in.

 

[Vortex]

Same with me I'll be at May Day May 6th at the River. I know thats posted on the site, I will put that up as a trip and event later on.

 

[ga2ski]

\ I will put that up as a trip and event later on.

Done but feel free to add to it.

 

[Greg]

Can't do a Saturday. A Sunday is a possibility...

 

[2knees]

i was on some pretty good pain meds last night. let me try again with a clear head. I'll do anyday, friday saturday or sunday. It doesnt really matter. And if we're grilling, throw me down for some marinated tips w/peppers and onions.

 

[Vortex]

Done but feel free to add to it.

oops.

 

[loafer89]

I am free April 22-23rd and May 6-7th. Hopefully Killington can hang on for that long.
