Killington. Very nice. I think I will be sneaking up there (without the family) around my birthday in early march, Its a no brainer with the half price card that you get with the mountain creek season pass.
I had a pretty good time at MC this morning. Very few people, so even though I got on at ten it was still cold enough, smooth enough and open enough to snap out some quick runs. After some close encounters with the human pylons at Vernon, I went to south. the right trail (from top looking down) on Bear mtn was empty and I definitely reached the limits of my speed comfort. I need an expert on the gear for some input...I was riding my 160 Burton Speed with 9.6 scr, I'm wondering if a longer board with a bigger scr would alleviate some of that "floaty" out of control feeling I had at (my) top speed. My guess is the natural turn radius is too tight when going quickly down fall line so I am not on edge enough. Still learning after a half dozen years. But I'll tell you, things were a lot less intense when i changed over to softies and flat board to practice my lame jumps. Some of the kids there are AWESOME, many Ah*&es, but talented none the less, I saw three kids lay down back flips like they were on their couch at home.
