RootDKJ Posted April 6, 2009 Report Posted April 6, 2009 Date(s) Skied: 4/4/2009 Resort or Ski Area: Killington Conditions: Variable snow, snow/sleet/rain at different times. Winds 25-40+mph. Trip Report: A tough day for Killington. Hard rain on/off the day before. While getting breakfast, it had started snowing. Drove up to Snowshed, cashed in my voucher and skied over to K1. No real lines but the lift was running super slow due to the wind. Skied a few off K1, NRT and Snowdown. Good snow in the top half on the mountain, but very wet on the lower half. I'd say there were 2-3 inches on top that was real nice. After a while I skied down to Skye Ship, only to find the Gondi not running, so onwards to BMMC. Pretty empty. I'm sure the weather didn't help. After I was done skiing, I took a drive over to Bear, but it was even more deserted than before. I got a really close parking spot so I decided to stay. I watched the comp for about 20 mins and then left. Went over to the Long Trail Brewery for a bowl of Chilli and a Blackbeary. Best part of the day.

phillycore Posted April 6, 2009 Report Posted April 6, 2009 Way to keep the season alive Root... Regretting that I packed my stuff up this weekend...when boulder is still open and K-ton open until may-2 Quote
Johnny Style Posted April 6, 2009 Report Posted April 6, 2009 I guess you didn't stay and watch the bands then? It looks like they have pretty good coverage still. I was up for the comp two years ago and they had much less snow. Root, I spent the entire weekend moping around the house thinking I had made the wrong decision on whether to go or not, now I feel better. Of course I'm watching the weather right now to see if Stowe is still in the cards this weekend. Quote
toast21602 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Posted April 6, 2009 nice. i'm jealous of people still making trips... but i cant lie, i'm pretty content with the weather we are having now and being able to run/bike outside in the warm sun for once. Quote

It looks like they have pretty good coverage still. I was up for the comp two years ago and they had much less snow. Root, I spent the entire weekend moping around the house thinking I had made the wrong decision on whether to go or not, now I feel better. Of course I'm watching the weather right now to see if Stowe is still in the cards this weekend. Sunday was probabily pretty good. If it wasn't for the pre-bmmc safety meeting, I never would have lasted there 20 minutes. When you see the Stratton TR, you'll see why nice. i'm jealous of people still making trips... but i cant lie, i'm pretty content with the weather we are having now and being able to run/bike outside in the warm sun for once. I'm looking forward to sleeping late next weekend. Quote
