    Killington, VT, 11-5/6

    Wed: a hazy cloud cover kept the sun effects down...temps hit about 65 by 1pm... A very very good day for sure...it was essentially 2 trails, rime and reason, with the long great eastern/lower bunny run out back to the K1... but skiing was off the NR triple.... the cover on rime was very good...

    i agree 100% with crocker... i'm not holding my breath for any sort of policy change regardless of this early season hype and speculation... it's gonna take real courage and a big shift in resources, just like tony says to commit to it...

    thanks for the quick info... probably be a late / day to day decision for them... if they are spinning we'll be there.. kzone right now has some reports saying the place is empty right now...i don't know if that will influence them or not
