Killington Conditions

Sno, are you on skis or board today?

Skis

Lapping some of the natural trails on Snowdon.

Nice, looks awesome, enjoy.

Looks like they are stocking up on obsolete natural. Do your best to make do!

The radar seems to be showing upper level instability, the spine thrives on it.

More really nice glades off the Snowdon lift.

Can't go wrong anywhere today.  Just pick a lift and go up, and take any trail.  Run of the day is Killington.

And I still haven't been to Bear or Needle's.

Devil's Fiddle open and awesome.

Wow haven’t been on the fiddle for probably 20 years.  Remind me.  What’s it’s similar to ny

Our home mountain - it was amazing today

I'd compare Fiddle mostly to Rumor.  The top isn't quite as steep but it's rocky and the conditions are always challenging.  The bottom is a wide bump run.  They have snowmaking on it but haven't blown there in quite a while.  They had ground guns on the side of it so I think they were planning to blow there this year but never got around to it.

It was very crowded yesterday, but with the most extensive lift system in the east it's pretty easy to get around without standing in line.  I used the lesser lifts like Canyon, both Snowdon lifts, and the Bear Quad.  Next year it'll be even easier having the South Ridge chair back and an additional high speed lift, with a bubble nonetheless.  They also were doing a very good job filling seats on the K1 and Skye Peak lifts, and I think orda could learn something from them.

It was indeed. I was also there!

What an amazing morning, with 9 inches or so of new snow, and an additional foot or more on the way!

Yes.  Very excited for the weekend.

Birthday snow!

We're headed up to Kmart as well this weekend, I'm a little distracted today watching the blue swirly on the radar  

You should have an amazing weekend. We picked up another eight inches overnight, and it's still coming down.  Today should be a good day, and then it's back home for me until Friday.

We probably received close to two feet of snow since yesterday morning. The conditions are over the top!!!

Sucks living in NYC..

Enjoy the goods. We still have 3 days until we can get to it and by then, all the front side will be either groomed or tracked out.

Snowboarding sideways is fun

Had a great weekend of skiing, and there's not a cloud in the sky this morning.  This is turning out to be one of the best late-April's I've seen in awhile. I was planning to head home today, but will likely ski until lunchtime, and then head back south.

Saw on FB they're doing another week of m-f and are going to run the gondola and the canyon quad again this weekend. As of now it looks to me like Sunday is the better day
