REPORT #1
KILLINGTON ON WED: PURE PERFECTION-THE BEST DAY OF SKIING EVER
BRETTON ON THURS: PURE PERFECTION-THE BEST DAY OF SKIING EVER
NOW THE REAL REPORT- AND I'LL ADRESS THE ABOVE NAMED DONKEYS LATER :roll: :
k on wed: all groomed out again. arrived at about 9 to blue sky and about 50f at the base. a lot softer than last week right out of the gate. by 12 the mush/oatmeal piles were begining to form... it really became labor between 12 and 230. by 230 some firmed up mounds with some lines started to form off the headwall and the top of the bottom headwall on skiers left. the middle was junk from 11 on... the bottom part of the bottom headwall that they have left to bump up is still slanted, tilted crap. about a 15 mph wind kept it nice and cool all day. beautiful day weather wise to be skiing. hooked up with our friend bump master greg from ny state. he was down at the bottom of the lift rallying people to go in to the office and demand the end of the nightly grooming. he said he got about 20 people to sign the petition. also hooked up with our friend b, the winner of the bear mogul challenge this year for females. she was just as disgusted as the rest of us. no bare spots at all cept for the top skiers right of the headwall on SS. still 3 ways down off the Q. definitely less of the usual mogul posse out for sure.. but greg was getting people pretty fired up... less racers than previous week. the hot rumor was that the grooming is going to stop on may 1. i guess we will see
Bretton on thurs: the miserable forcast for thurs made it tough to stay over and pay at K so we said we would drive back to lincoln and see if the weather might change course. it didn't as of 7am thurs. since it appeared to be moving in from the west, we figured we would try and burn so we figured we would trya nd beat the front and burn some turns at bretton before driving home. it was 2 for 1 so it cost 15 . it was us and 5 other sickies . raining hard at the outset , tapered off about 11 and picked back up at 130. it was 2 trails. groomed flat. soft snow but a little more firm than the day before. the wind really kicked in about 2 so we threw it in. about 20 runs total. temps were in the upper 40's. they will make it to the big bode miller throw down :roll: this weekend but that should be it.
back on tuesday and wed from K for what looks like great weather.
