Both ski areas opened today Oct 19th after a short cold snap and only have short upper mountain sections open.
At Killington up/downloading as usual on the K1 Gondola with a hike on the peak walkway over to the skiing. Pass holders only for today and then general public starting Sat.
Sunday River has 2 short trail sections accessed by the mid-station and above on Locke. Although only open weekends till sometime in Nov.
Ironic that both opened in such short time and on the same day as ABasin. Though per snow reports they have 5 and 7 acres of skiing open on very thin bases (as low as 6"). Vs ABasin having 28 acres open (only one trail) and on a solid 18" base depth. Two very different methods of opening for the season for sure.
