It was a lot of fun...always great skiing this early. I'm torn between keeping my boots and getting new ones. We'll see. But snow conditions were awesome...the crowds were not, however. 3x as many people in the lift line then in previous years. The trails were empty, though But, early season skiing is not about getting lap after lap, it's about getting out there and skiing. After a few runs, I finally got the GS turns back to where they were last season, but the line was getting pretty outrageous...as you'll see below. Fun day...weather was perfect, stairway to heaven wasn't bad at all, and it was JADIP.

 

on the access road...kmart up in the clouds...nobody in sight!

 

gondola ride...nobody on the slopes...

 

oh...they're all in the lift line...

 

at least the trails were empty

[DiMe]

Nice pics, I love white evergreens!

[AngryHugo]

snow conditions look pretty nice. that liftline, however, looks like dogshit.

[Quickturns]

Photos looked good except for the liftline. Were there battles for position or were people just happy to be getting in some skiing?

 

For those of you going up soon, there is a buy one get one free deal via email - http://www.killington.com/winter/2for1/2for1-skimag

No battling for position...everyone seemed to be happy they were out skiing. We both commented on how that many people in a lift line at Blue would've been a clusterfck, but it flowed nicely at Kmart.

so now I sit here typing away still unshowered with a slight amount of soreness in my calfs and BO in my pits to remind me that I skied today...yeah it felt great to breathe the mountain air..see snow..feel it..ski it..and be among a thousand die-hards..nice way to start the season and hopefully can hold me over a couple weeks when more Turin is open..

 

never get tired of dougs reports. enjoy some sfrb man.

Glad you guys stayed safe and had fun. Raised the stoke factor for sure.

Good work, chaps. I'm delayed because the missus is still hospitalized and, this usually happens, I got a chest cold from going into hospital. F'in germ factories.

[Justin]

Justin so you do nothing? LTD

As of now, yes...tomorrow the new call of duty comes out so that'll be my new job until further notice. Community college in january...then moving to kutztown in the fall.

Nice, 9-5's are HIGHLY over rated.

[phillycore]

That's closer to 3 hours for me, far from an hour that's for sure. In some ways I'm glad I couldn't go, but had I been able to I wouldn't think it was a waste that's for sure.

[RootDKJ]

most jobs start earlier than 9am....I have to be at work at 7am on delivery days which is the suck if I am at the bar till 200am the night before....9am would be sweet but then I wouldn't get out at 3

 

I love the flexibility I have. I just show up around when I need to be someplace. I think I'm going to do the Wegmans thing more this year.
