Oh sorry I meant I was at Keystone not Killington where all of there chairs was running and Keystone is much higher then Killington and Camelback so it should have been less windy at both of them, I think Killington and Camelback should both recalabrate there wind sensing machines because the winds must have been less then 45 mile per hour.

I was on a blade-trip with a few friends up at Killington on Jan 3rd and they were spining all of their chairs and with all my years of blading experiance; I can judge the wind speed by how much my blades blow around when I'm riding the chair, and the winds were definately less than 55 mph, that is below the limit for a Poma high-speed quad, and since Killington is much higher than Camelback, the winds at Camelback must have been much lower than that.

My friends little brother has a poster of a skier. He says that in the background of that poster, there is a HSQ which may be a Doppelmayer. He also says that the pine trees in the picture are hanging at an angle. While there is snow on them, he thinks that they could be hanging in the way that they are because there may be some ice on them. He says there are no skiers on the lift, but in the picture it looks like it may be moving. Therefore, it is possible to run a Doppelmayer HSQ in an ice storm.

My sisters friend was at CB last night and she said that the winds felt more like 54 mph. My brother is a car mechanic and he once took a physics class and he said that 54 mph is not fast enough to close a HSQ. CB should really re-calibrate their wind speed sensors because they are off by at least 16 mph.

I really hate the dirty snow. My blades behave much differently on it and its also very ugly. CB should find a way to whiten it. I was thinking of either a CB or Blue trip on Saturday, but I was worried if there was going to be any powder (ungroomed trails). I can't believe that anyone would like skiing in that stuff. Who will have better grooming after this storm? Do you guys think there will be enough grooming that I can rack vertical and still not get bored?

Who are you, some sort of expert?

That sounds really good. I hope they groomed everything after it snowed. I hate soft snow.

Hey everybody. I'm new to posting on this board but I've been a lurker for a while. I have been going to Blue for the past 5 years. I was talking to a close friend yesterday about this topic while blading at Blue and he said that his cousin's best friend is a liftee at Cameback. He only works on weekends and thus normally works the Baily Lift. He said that the Baily can run in winds less than 70 mph. The wind limit on the Stevenson can't be much less than that.
