I had a shovel in my car..I should have built a big booter..I never did see AndyZee but I heard he skis really slow..:lol::lol:

If there is one thing I should have done is have my edges sharpened..they were uber dull from last season and while it wasn't icy..there were a few slick spot that I wasn't comfortable carving with no edges so I just did the Blue mountain ski patroller shuffle skid..still fun though..It's hard to believe that less than 24 hours ago I was skiing..I'm glad I got it in before it melts away//

Good stuff, Andy! Nice report and man you are a lucky guy to have a wife that wants to hit Killington on opening day.

Glad to see the southerners are making some turns, too!

It's good to read some positive news coning from Killington!

Well, at least Killington is aiming for a couple more days. I see Sunday River is already closed.

When they opened they announced it would only be for the weekend.

It's still up in the air if they'll open up again this weekend or not.
