This is great. You were skiing really well on those.
^2 of my fav ppl! The glacier is riding great!
2 of my favorite people as well. So much snow there.
The Killington glacier holds strong & word is staff are anticipating skiing until 6/11-12. Amazing whatever they put in the snow for the WC races makes for a wicked stable surface.
It's amazing. True about whatever they do to the snow because last year no world cup and the melt out was fast and furious.
^ it’s the agricultural fertilizer salt they lay into the base to avert melting.
Beautiful summer weather paired with the Superstar Glacier made for a unforgettable weekend. Creamy corn outta the gate Friday to the final Sunday bump turns this was one to remember. Radio Ron, Hannah Soar and Randy "The Hammer" Grasso were all in attendance. My personal favorite was Tao a 5 year with a neon green helmet. He was too scared to make turns on the headwall so I took over from his Dad and coached him down. Sometimes kids respond to a stranger. He quickly stopped shopping for turns finding the fall line. He told me latter that he wants to ski Downdraft next season and I said he was ready for my favorite Killington trail.

Sounds like a fabulous day. Never underestimate the power of GIS. He just has this way. My terrain coach constantly proves his awesomeness. Great job Mark!!

This is where they were on Sunday
The one waving with long red hair is my son, who didn't make it to Kton on Friday.
I was planning to ski Superstar on Saturday on my way up to UVM, but on Friday my hot water heater decided to let go and flood my basement. Luckily I caught it quickly, but I spent Saturday replacing it instead of skiing. Even though I shut off the house's water, I didn't want another 40 gallons to leak out while I was skiing, the tank was still full. Had to buy a $100 pump along with a new tank, to empty the cracked tank so I could move it. Looks like missed a great day. My son had a good laugh at the Friday pictures.
Thunderstorms in the forecast, no? I’m planning on rolling up on Sunday.
The standard Killington rule of not letting questionable weather forecasts cancel your skiing plans applied in full force today. Rain was expected by mid day and never showed up. Mt Ops had repaired the thin spots and we have top to bottom, ski on, ski off skiing in late May. Many parties & BBQs, and very nice mellow vibe; the hill wasn't crowded as all the folk who believe weather forecasts stayed home. Probably half the crowd of last Friday. Tomorrow looks shaky, but Sunday and Monday look entirely acceptable. Rumors of June 1.

Sunny great Sunday as The Beast melts into bike season. For those that completed biking, skiing and golf this weekend earned a T-Shirt. Sweet groomed corn at the bell quickly became a bumping delight. Slopeside pizza on grill was a crowd pleaser. Fresh strawberries stuffed with white cream that @mister moose created raised the bar. Down to the last couple days of the Eastern ski season.

Crazy day at Superstar. Fun morning with @Guy in Shorts and the rest of the access road characters.
Very crowded at 9am opening. Bumps formed in less than half hour. First two runs were stay in your lane to reduce chances of getting hit. Things calmed down after the first hour, then the rocks came out on the headwall.
Snow was really good outside of the tocks at beginning and choke point under the lift crossover.
Last strip of white in VT. Plenty of snow where there’s snow. Random ice chunks at times not as bad as random rocks.
Right side in shade was nice but it runs out of snow. Left at 11am. Not sure I would’ve stayed if I could. Side stepping over rocks by the end at the top of the headwall gets old.
Making it to next weekend is going to be tough. They need a sun tarp.
