Killington Conditions

I heard that conditions were great today. I'll be there the next 3 days, so I'll confirm tomorrow.

awesome dude. this is really the kind of year where you need to jump on it when it's good, and it should be good tomorrow!

The conditions today at Killington were really good. Those guys blew a ton of snow and I think they can last a few more weeks for sure. Today was really cool and tomorrow should warm up to 45. Not very crowded which was a plus....


What Mother Nature can't do - the Beast does. Thank you Mike Solimano and Killington crew.

That is us on the top... Sandro, Ray, Nevada and our buddy Thrasher.

yesssssss! so good to hear. Think May skiing will be a thing?

I am sure at least on superstar...

Good thing Killington has it, because unless it's a snowy next month I'm not sure Tuckerman's will have snow in May!

I'm here right now.

SNOLOCO - nice!!  Did you get any snow today? I heard that just West there was some good snowfall. We will be there this weekend.

Nice pics. The clouds look like the ones from The Simpsons.

Nice shots! After a trek out west this week, I'll be back at the Big K for the balance of the season.

Quick update from Sunday. It was sunny, snowy and really windy. Conditions were good overall. Some interesting mini-death cookies/quarter sized frozen granular over on the needles side. I think they lost a fair amount of trails with the warm weather at the end of the week. Overall coverage was very good. Some new snow on top of mostly carveable hardpack. I was surprised actually that there wasn't more glare ice with how fast the temps dropped from Saturday into Sunday. With whatever they picked up from the second storm yesterday, conditions should be very good for the foreseeable future. There's enough variety of terrain still open to keep things interesting.

Sorry to have missed you there Danzilla!. You up this weekend?

Nope. That was likely it for me. Headed to the keys with the wife (and no kids) on Saturday. I may make one more day trip at the end of April if it still looks decent. Wish I could have skied today or yesterday.

When do you guys shut it down for the season?

Enjoy the Keys.. We had hope to ski through the rest of this month. We are like 33 days in this year. We might get in 40 but, then again, if the skiing isn't so good, we will probably then do like you and head to Florida to see my dad.  He is in Sarasota.

Wish we were there today too but, need to work and kids gotta learn.

Here is to next season.

Day 31: I arrived around 9:45 supah was groomed. Still spent most of the day over on Skye Lark etc as the snow seemed softer and I hadn't skied in almost a month.

Never got to cascade. Big smiles from the guys hiking out.





Great day skiing with the Albas, will post my best pics on the blog soon.

Nice photo!  

Looks like a great spring day. I was thinking of killington all weekend; looking forward to reading the full post

If everybody knows what I know Killington will be crowded tomorrow.  I got there at 11 today and for me it was just about going off.  There is still a ton of snow on Superstar and Skyelark is doable but getting mushy and rough in spots...and the walk to cascade is well worth it...I did it twice today

Suds
You have  once again filled me with jealousy with this work day skiing. You are totally dialed in. How many days do you have this year?

yesterday was 45...I was jonesing for the Sugarbush deal today but my body hurts a bit and I can't leave my dogs that long without a plan...and should get some work done around the house.  I work for the company I do because of the flexibility not the money  I think I will be at Kmart early tomorrow to get in as much as I can before it rains...I really want to ski cascade again before it's toast...prolly get on the road bike later to loosen up the joints and muscles for tomorrow
