    Killington VT 10/30/2005 - Closing Day

    The end of days should be close... I went... :lol: It was the 2nd time I was skiing in october in my life. The first time, I got a few patches of snow at St-Sauveur in 2003. This time, I got Cascade almost without barespots T2B with all of its neighbours in winter conditions. Ok, it's sure...

    Killington on sunday !

    Especially when it's the marketing department who has wrote it... anyway, they proved to little know what they're talking about, as they say that for years they claim to have the longest season in the Eastern North America... while everybody serious knows that Killington is the station who can...

    Killington on sunday !

    LOLLLLLLLL As soon as Christophe (zoneski's admin) is back from work this afternoon, we leave for Vermont's snow ;) in the meantime, St-Sauveur started their snowguns this morning and according to their press release, an opening on next weekend is not impossible even though according to the 14...

    Killington on sunday !

    I'm sure Marc won't believe it before I post some pics of me on the mountain, but yes, I'm going to cross the US border this evening, to ski at Killington with some friends tomorrow ! I'm sure the best day to ski there was today, but my friends were not available, so it's going to be tomorrow...

    WILDCAT OPENS FRIDAY !!!!

    Sorry Max (who wrote it first, at the end of another conversation) I think this deserve a whole thread. WILDCAT IS OPENING FRIDAY with the Tomcat Chairlift and a few trails. Really incredible ! We may head there for sunday, but it's to confirm, because we can't go before sunday and we don't...

    Snow in Quebec !

    hopefully the system coming with Wilma will dump us a little pow just like Jim Roemer said it was possible a few days ago. (didn't he tell 6-12" possible for Stowe ?)

    Snow in Quebec !

    There is a few ski areas here which received some snow in the last hours. This morning, the top part of Tremblant was fairly white, even though the top webcam doesn't work :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: Also, the Valinouët, in Saguenay Lac St-Jean received 2" of snow at its base and...

    It's official! Ski season opens Friday!

    I know most of you might not care about snowmaking while there is a ton of powder to ski in not opened yet ski areas, but just for your info, Loveland is opening tomorrow, with the Catwalk, Mambo, Homerun, side to side !

    O.H. M.Y. G.O.D. sit down before you look at this... it could save your life...

    Loveland is really on the way !

    Wow, I can't believe Loveland are so fast this year to put intensive snowmaking in their beginner trail... We're only at october 6 and the coverage of Catwalk/Mambo is almost complete, although "home run" is not really advanced yet. The pics are really wonderful, even though I know it remains...

    Frankcontour - Get ready...

    Fudge, I miss a lot of things here... Sorry for the lack of posts/ delays of response, etc... so busy on the job + on our website... But thanks for the thoughts... effectively, they got enough snow, in the laurentians park (where the average elevation of the road is over 2500' high) and it's...

    Clearing trails...

    no words, but if you want a little more description, you can see my video of early season 2004-05. Conditions were quite a bit crusty where nobody passed before (after the rain of christmas), but with "Radpat" skiing like a bulldozer just before us, we were OK :mrgreen: There is just a dozen...

    Clearing trails...

    Let's say more 600' high (unfortunately) and a few boulevards and a little bit of grooming... but still, basically, you're totally right :) One more thing is that it has always the best conditions north of Montreal, because the absence of snowmaking makes the snow staying super soft and nice...

    C'mon Eric, are you sure it's a good idea to announce your secret powder spot online ? lol

    Clearing trails...

    Lol for the "East of the Rockies". Me too, I have a few secret spots that I prefer to keep totally secret. For Alta, it's a bit different. The most important thing for now is to help them staying alive, and they need a lot of marketing for that... and new trails/glades attract a lot of skiers...

    Clearing trails...

    For Alta, it's enough simple, I know the owners for a few years now and we're quite involved with ZoneSki for their website + building some official trails, based on some existing off-pistes trails, which are everywhere on the mountain. In general, we're not paid in $$ but in ski tickets. At...
