I took a run up to Killngton to make sure my home is in order for ski season since I haven't been up all summer.  While I won't be skiing until after I return from vacation over Thanksgiving, it certainly is looking like winter up here.

I shoveled about six inches of snow off the deck, and it's still snowing lightly. The white stuff certainly is getting me excited.

Wow. We went to the ski expo in Boston - a great show..  Though seeing this, now thinking skiing would have been a great option! Maybe next weekend..

Ha. Alicia put us up to it and we were shocked as to how many people actually know of us..  I think it's because of  Nevada...

This is us with Steve Wright.

Junior took the pic of the turkeys for me. My phone was frozen at the time

I was trying to make a bad joke.  lol.

I'm quite jealous of your first day of the season though.  When did you go? Thursday? Still downloading on the K1?

It was actually really good last year too....

Though looking at this snowfall- which I hope continues - you are on the money with this Thanksgiving being potentially amazing.

More from last Saturday for everybody to feast their eyes upon...

K guns are what make it all possible. No low-e bullshit for the early season- max firepower!




Probably the last time we’ll ride in the old cabins



Perfect time and place for a beginner lesson






Junior’s first trip across the catwalk

Had a good time at Kton today.  Since I have Ikon, decided it was worth a long day of driving on Sun.  In the Boston area tonight but the detour was worth it.  Didn't want to drive my NC minivan in VT/NH/MA in snow on Tuesday.

K1 gondola, North Peak Triple, and Snowdon Triple were running.  Plenty of coverage on the groomers.  Upper mountain stayed in the clouds pretty much all day but except for about an hour right after lunch time, visibility was fine.  The trails with only natural snow that were open showed grass and little rocks.  Best coverage was the top of Highland off Great Northern.

Per usual midweek, the only crowded section was the last section of Great Northern.  Especially when the race teams were doing a final effort before riding Snowdon again.

Groomers were working on Superstar for several hours in the morning.

Was my second day ever at Kton.  Far more fun than a year ago.

Monday Dec. 2nd.  Ikon pass holder - had to try it out.  Stayed in Manchester and drove up in the morning.  Conditions were pretty incredible!  Stayed warm the night before so it was like Spring skiing in December - everything that was open was soft.  Many trails off Superstar, K1, Ramshead and Snowden were open.  Had a chance to try out my new (used) Black Majic's - perfect ski for east coast skiing.

Haven't been up there in over 10 years - forgot what a great place it is.  Nice staff too.
