Killington got their advertised foot of snow over the last week or so, but don't expect calf-deep powder. Most of the storms wavered around the freezing mark and changed over from snow>sleet>freezing rain>rain numerous times. As a result, there's a real smorgasbord of conditions incl wet powder...

Watched the Intellicast all day/night yesterday and could see the blue/snow over central VT for most of that time. This morning the Kmart report said 4-5" new. "Damn the luck, can't go", I tell myself, "Why did it have to come when I've got so much stuff to do to prepare for this upcoming...

Sorry this is a bit 'after the fact'..... <BR> <BR> Fri 4/12: Well, the fat lady was doing her sound check at Snow. They'd announced a closing of Sunday 4/14 (thank Ullr for that 2 feet in March or it would've been way earlier!) so I went up on the Friday to get some last weekday-pass tracks...

(Vincent Price voice w/ reverb) Yesss, that's my plan exactly, then we'll be able to meet up to ski more often !! Come, join us......

The recently rejuvenated cover is holding strong. Some bare spots on the front face, but not too many and not too big. South side (Sunbrook) and Carinthia areas closed for the season, probably as much an economic decision though admittedly the lower Carinthia trails looked a little sparse...

This is coming in a little late, but before we turn over to a new page for April wanted to give a brief rundown of the 'second wind' that (literally) befell Mt. Snow a week ago: <BR> <BR>Mon 3/18: Snow was coming down when I awoke so I made the drive during the precip. A bit hairy on the...

Almost a month after official opening day, and after almost a week of shutdown due to warm weather, we're essentially back to opening days at Kmart. Ride gondola to K peak, ski down to Glades chair for runs on Rime, then down load Canyon quad for a pickup truck ride back to K base. <BR> The 24...

The storied (here) Kmart crowds of the long Veterans Day weekend had dried up, as had the snowguns and most of the summit cloud by shortly after noon. <BR> A little more variety now. Upload the K1 gondola and ski down to the Glades area, ski the triple chair and 2.5 trails there for awhile...

Kmart opened today. Same drill as recent years, taking pickup truck to Canyon lift for up/downloading to access Glade chair and Rime trail. The trail remained in clouds most of the day but thankfully they turned the snow guns off early. Great conditions, man made packed powder with solid cover...

Killington was reporting 4-6" new powder today and that was true. However, they were calling the surface "packed powder" which it generally was not! <BR> <BR> Problem was, the nice dry pow fell on boilerplate and was quickly scraped off. Even getting first tracks in a given spot was no guarantee...

PowderPowderPowder indeed. The hounds didn't get it all on Tues however, and on Wed I found plenty o' shots knee deep and deeper. Only problem was, as many have pointed out in NE reports this week, that unless there was a good pitch to the slope, the deep snow often slowed you to a halt. At...

Finally skied Sept to make it all 12 months that I've skied in the east (not in a row (yet), July and August courtesy Tuckerman's)! <BR> Killington made snow overnight Thurs on Upper Cascade. In years past this would mean opening day, but with the loss of the old Killington double chair with its...
