Killington today.
Conditions made up for yesterday.
They mowed down the center. Left some pretty big seams and holes. Base was 48F at 9:30. Bottom of Superstar was colder and snow firm. Top was softer. We farmed the corn on SkyeLark and Bittersweet for several laps. Was hoping skiers would smooth out the seams.
Early Superstar. Pre bump infestation. Though it’s the illusion of smooth. Not really high speed corn farming country except for those in sports jerseys, (Rangers, Bruins), and the under 23 set. Though they tend to plow one straight row only.
Beautiful morning.
View off the top/back of Superstar lift. Way on the right is Stratton. Just left of that is Mt Snow. You could see a little of Jackson Gore at Okemo off frame to left.
Lower Superstar. This near noon. Really nice. Bumps still proto in middle. Could turn almost anywhere in middle. Well not in the holes. Fat skis are good for sideways grooming of seams and holes.
Skier’s right relatively untouched and a soft, deep quicksand like trap.
Mr. Tele. Super low down when skiing. Today, especially late, was like telepalooza. Never seen so many.
Gone to lunch. Post lunch did gondi to Northridge. One needs a smooth cruiser post lunch coma. That wasn’t it. Thick, heavy, not enough pitch. Journeyed to Snowdon. Made a lap there. We dubbed it a sea of crap. Went back to Superstar/Skyelark. Order restored.
Top of the glacier. Well bottom of the top.
Heading out. Done. Bit of a slack off, it’s only 3:45. Left the last run to those on bended knee.
Skis in water are like snow on porch furniture. Got some bubbles today. Sparing you the sea of mud and garbage photos. Truly horrible.
The glow is from the ridiculous yellow bases. Kidding. Wonder if I drilled holes and shot compressed air through could it improve?
