Ride Delaware ? Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 Just fyi, Liftopia has some screaming deals right now if you know your travel dates. I picked up a Saturday ticket to Plattekill for $26.Have you been to Plattekill? You won't be disappointed... Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) Shawnee's steepest trail is Renegade up top, but it is about 250' vertical I would guess. There are also somewhat steep trails at the bottom 250'. So if you aim a run right you can hit both but have a long pretty flat descent of 200' between. And getting to Renegade requires using a slow lift and a little hiking (or a fast lift and a good bit more hiking). Has some nice skiable tree areas when they get natural snow. Some of those areas are right off Delaware, which makes that change up more annoying. Edited November 1, 2017 by Ski2Live Live2Ski Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 Ski2Live lets carpool to Shawnee sometime!!! Have you been to Plattekill? You won't be disappointed... Do you have any blog posts about Platekill? PASR is renting out Platty sometime and JLaw said he was tossing in $500 Quote

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) Maybe not, it was a guess. I don't view 250 as a real large amount, and was certainly not making any great claim for it. Main point was that it was the steepest thing there and was not real long.

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 Would you ski at Shawnee if your kids weren't along? Maybe if there was fresh snow I would go to ski the trees if I had a ticket to use up. I think I have been there twice without kids and the first time was a over 25 years ago. Have been there with the kids many times. Quote

JFskiDan Posted November 3, 2017 Report Posted November 3, 2017 Couldn't have picked a more beautiful 70 degree day to do it! Yeah. this weather is bullshit. Is this the weather thread? 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 3, 2017 Report Posted November 3, 2017 The leaves have barely changed color but long range shows more seasonable weather. Doesn't look good for Root Friday unless there's a major change and Killington is nervous about the World Cup. Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted November 7, 2017 Report Posted November 7, 2017 Looks like solid nighttime snowmaking temps up in Central/Northern VT with a couple round the clock days added in. Killington was probably puckering their buttle, but with the 30 extra towers they added in this year on Superstar, I'm thinking that the course will be pretty close to finished come the end of this weekend. However, it will hurt their early season offering for the public. I can't see t2b skiing there after what they did last year with the same situation, albeit an earlier snowmaking window. I fully expect that SR, BW, and potentially Mount Snow and Wildcat will all be t2b come Saturday AM. SR will probably do a soft opening for locals on Wednesday/Thursday afternoon with t2b on Saturday. They can open Barker pretty quickly nowadays. Quote
indiggio Posted November 7, 2017 Report Posted November 7, 2017 Just heard they're calling for a mix of rain/snow in LV tonight into tomorrow. Quote
toast21602 Posted November 7, 2017 Report Posted November 7, 2017 Chance of JFBB trying to get a strip of snow open this weekend? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote
JFskiDan Posted November 7, 2017 Report Posted November 7, 2017 If you believe the hour by hour forecast, they have a decent window to get snow on the tilted tabletop. Quote
