JDSCHMOO22 Posted January 11, 2007 Report Posted January 11, 2007 Hey all, just got back last night from 2 days of riding at Killington with 4 of da fellas. We arrived about 4 pm Sunday afternoon, checked out the mountain at K1 lodge, talked to a few people who said the mountain was in great shape for the weather. Advertised 75 open trails and 20 lifts. It started snowing heavily Sunday night, ran into some locals who work on the mountain and they said they could get up to 6 inches at the peak. Went out Monday morning in the pouring rain, but found the coverage to be great. Packed it in after 3 hours in a down pour, but had a lot of fun for a short day. Tuesday brought a fresh 4 inches from mother nature, and the overnight temps allowed for snowmaking all night. On the mountain early Tuesday, finally got to ride some fresh powder. Weather at the peak of the K1 gondola was a full on blizzard. Near zero visibilty on some of the trails coming off the top with the natural snowfall and every snow gun blowing all day. Rode all day until close at 4pm with only 2 short breaks. Conditions were awesome for all of Tuesday, with no waiting on any lifts, except a short 1-2 minute wait on the K1 gondola. This entire week will be perfect snowmaking temps with some more natural snow in the forecast. Not a big fan of crowded KMart, but the mountain is in great shape, and the earlier weather seemed to keep the crowds away. If you're looking for a MT. with some great conditions to be found, check em out. Quote
