Our Killington TR

[sexkitten]

Well we're here. The drive took 7 hours with a short lunch break and one pee stop. The Killington Grand is just about as close as you can get to the mountain. Check in was a breeze, the room is small, clean and nice and the pool looks nice and warm. We think we're having some tapas for dinner at The Garlic then turning in so we can hit the snow at 9. Later.

Tuesday Night

Dinner at The Garlic was awesome. Tapas rules and theirs was no exception. We had some drinks too which were delicious. Oh and the chipotle ribs were to die for. After dinner we hit up the pool and hot tubs. Here at the Grand the pool is kept at 96 degrees and the hot tubs are at 108 which is perfect. Also they face the slopes so we got to watch the groomers do their thing while we soaked. So nice. Bedtime was 10:30 or so on an awful, hardass bed. Oh well... you can't have everything.

 

Wednesday

What a BEAUTIFUL day! It was chilly but not freezin and totally clear and sunny. Hello goggle tan! We started at 9 at Snowshed and basically made our way over to almost Bear then backtracked to Ramshead and finished up back at Snowshed. We did a ton of runs on the Great Eastern and also on the Great Northern and almost every blue and green in between. Snow was perfect corduroy and packed powder across the whole mountain. Alot was groomed and the stuff that wasn't was nice cushy piles. Sooooooo good. We did a quick lunch at the K1 base lodge cause the top was closed and $30.00 later... ugh. We finished about 2:00. Gotta save some legs for tomorrow. Anyway it looks like we're in for a snowy day. They are calling for a dusting to an inch of snow tonight into tomorrow so we're heading out to the pool now to soak up some of the sun. How lucky are we?

Day One Evening

 

Bob broke a pole so after swimming and lounging we headed out for some shopping. Dinner ended up being at the hotel restaurant Ovations then early to bed.

 

Day Two

 

Day two started around 4 AM when Bob puked up his nice Ovations Restaurant dinner. For that reason we really didn't push it today. We didn't get on the snow until 11 AM. There was hardly anyone on the mountain and the conditions were amazing. The light dusting we got combined with the bright sunshine and rising temps made for smooth, somewhat wet, fast snow. Since Bob was still feeling a bit green we stayed mostly on Killington Peak, Snowdon and Ramshead's blues and greens. We had a light, late lunch at Ramshead and then lapped the blue under the Ramshead quad. Around 1:30 PM we worked our way over to Snowshed and then ran laps on green under the Snowshed quad which was perfect... I think Bob said some of the remaining cord was like skiing on glass. We ended our day around 2 PM and headed back to the room for resting. Later we might order in or go somewhere with awesome chicken noodle soup and ginger ale. I have a date even later with the nice bottle of champagne cooling in the snow on our balcony. We had originally planned to hit up a club or two tonight but poor Bob would most likely pass out and quite frankly I need him to drive my drunk ass home so that won't work. Later.
