Killington Stoke Thread... 2023!!

[saltyant]

This is grate. Parked at the Bear Mountain Lodge and it looks like there is 3 inches of fresh. Actually sorta feels like winter today. Wao! Thanks to Atomic Skiing Jeff for giving me his Ikon discount so I saved a lot and only paid $150. Ikon is so generous with their discounts

This was a super easy request to fulfill. Present view below. Already connected to the free wifi so all I had to do is lift my Jitterbug a bit

Salty is the lift at Bear mountain running?   I guess you can start on the skye peak express quad

Dunno, Skye peak express it is. I'm not doing Outer Limits and if I recall the Bear lift is just good for connecting to other areas unless you can ski bumps like Indigo

Some gapers in a Nissan from Massachusetts couldn't get up the snow covered road to Bear Mountain Lodge. I guess they forgot their snow chains at home. Good thing I got a Subaru so I breezed right past them with the utmost of ease.

Too bad you weren't there Sunday for the Subaru fest.

I always wear the same things so I don't have to think. It's low 30s. There is actual snow out here!! Like not machine made, granular, corn, sugar, ice, or snirt. It's rad

@mute1080 I don't know what Friday will be like but the Bear Mountain Lodge seems to be the most convenient place to park. Im extremely lazy when it comes to logistics and it was really easy. I got my lift ticket from the dispenser (if you need to do that) and sat in my car until 8:45. 2 minute walk to the lift and there were about 10 people in line. If you want a really nice groomer hit Skyeburst first thing. It felt like a western groomer. Now it's a bit choppy

Even if it’s 50 degrees out you wear the same thing?  Wow just wow.

Good point. It will be nice and toasty tomorrow I think so I guess I won't wear my hoodie. I hate wasting time going back to the car to drop off an article of clothing.

I once skied Killington on a weekend. I lasted about 30 minutes before I sold my ticket to a random person and went home

Wow just wow…where are the pictures of the ski runs and glades you’ve been skiing?

My data is limited so I'll have to post them when I find wifi again. There were some rad glades off the Ramshead lift which were sickbird

Are you having lunch now?

Yeah I stopped at my car for 4 minutes for a banana, Gatorade and granola bar. Plus I stripped a layer. I love the convenience of the car being close to the lift, but I got stuck on some flat trails like stupid Bear Cub twice which was labor intensive so it's still not 100 percent effort free
