BMMC 2018

Woke up Friday morning at 3am and made the uneventful drive up to Killington, arriving in the parking lot just after 9 and booted up to mostly sunny skies and upper 20s, but felt much colder because of the wind.

 

Met up with another Blue couple and headed up the gondoobie. First run over on East Fall and the snow was hard and fast as expected from the recent rain and falling temps. Took some stabs at venturing off trail, but that was a no-go. The snow looked good from the lifts, but was compressed and frozen stiff.

 

Took a run down the backside over to check out the mogul course. Yikes! It was frozen solid, so much so that they were out with pickaxes to chop the jump landings. A few hardy (insane) soles were making their way down the run, but ended up bailing after a few bumps from out of control speed. Should be an interesting comp!

 

Later in the day some snow started to fall and visibility dropped. Headed up to the top lodge for a few beers. Coming out we were met with full on wind and some 3-4" of fresh perder which helped slow things down a bit as pretty much everything was a sheet of ice by this point. Run of the day was coming down a mostly untracked Highline just before close, since few will ride the triple.

 

Left the mountain after a few parking lot beers and headed to the house. Following the GPS which took me to the wrong house, only to find Tarpon pulling in right behind me. Turned out the house was across the street. After some dinner with other Blue couple, headed over to Sushi Yoshi for the pre-comp registration party and to meet up with the gaggle of Blue people who also came up for the fun.

 

 

Thanks for the beer Tarpon!!

You could do it Salty, but you might need your ice axe.

I was sure sure I had that right I spent ten minutes looking it up in the Oxford Dictionary usage guide. You are correct. 

On the other hand, I do what I want.
