Presumably Patrick's out there somewhere, but considering we haven't seen his TR's for August or September yet, who knows when we'll know about it.admin":1jxssa27 said:no one's yet posted photos of skiing it.

K had only one run of 600 vertical open as far as I can tell, so any fresh snow would have been pounded into submission in no time. Despite the publicity this storm did not produce anywhere near the snowfall in the ski areas that the October 2005 storm did at K and Wildcat (the starting month of Patrick's streak). So perhaps the pics we've seen from Plattekill were the only real lift served powder.
I have seen no evidence of that. Riverc0il's report sounded quite masochistic. And if only one run was open at Killington yesterday, I'm still not buying that it could have been good for very long. Were cover/conditions adequate to poach terrain that was not officially open yesterday?Patrick":1yb13obh said:great skiing
