Maybe. Haven’t done a WROD in awhile. Or hiked the stairway at Killington to download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride Delaware ? Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Nope. I’m more interested in Catskills WRODDoes Root ever ski before Root Friday? You usually have at least Belleayre with an upper mountain trail or two and Hunter from the top on Root Friday. Maybe you have Belleayre a week before that. Killington is only 3 weeks ahead of that. I could easily see saving the time and money to wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stairway to Heaven is annoying, but it’s a no brainer for early season skiing. Easily extends their season 2-3 weeks in marginal temps when everyone else is too warm to make snow. If you have the ability to go midweek, it’s actually a great trail pod up there. It’s just mayhem on weekends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCat Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Also, it looks like things are shaking out that I'll be working at Suicide Six in Woodstock this winter, so if anyone has kids or beginners that would enjoy a small hill, contact me about passes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, if there’s snow on the ground and lifts are spinning somewhere within day-trip range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much the only deal you’ll find on this early season is the 2 for 1 deal they will post later this month. I’ve camped out by the lift ticket kiosk before and shared with a stranger. Knocks it down to thirty and change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think many from PASR are gonna drive all the way to Vermont to ski a 600 vertical foot hill. Root is this the year you’re skiing out west? Talk to Toast he’s doing Utah.

JFskiDan Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 I look forward to the TR's from you guys that drive 400-700 miles to ski on one trail with 10,000 other people. I just cant bring myself to do it. Greek Peek is about as far as i could justify driving from the poconos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have other priorities next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They apparently have pretty shitty snowmaking and sometimes Blue opens earlier than them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the most exciting terrain, but way fewer New Yorkers. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny law has been to suicide 6 but he’s been everywhere. What’s the other little south central Vermont place you skied at last season??

I know snowmaking was a priority. I haven’t been in about 15 years and I went for spring skiing. It was fun, but I wasn’t looking into details like I do now.

Luckily, if the snow conditions allow, Killington runs 7 days a week once they open. Wait 2-3 days for a weekday, and you’ll probably have 2 runs with 100 other people. That’s worth it if you’re really jonesing and have the time to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most don’t want to use vacation time for WROD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
