  1. Had a terrific time on Sunday..no crowds, better than decent snow. And now, after a season of ski-racing school, my little girl keeps up! IT'S AWESOME! And all for my $300 season pass! Myself and the two (under 7 year old, FREE) kids go about a dozen times...that's about $8/person/day!!!! UNREAL VALUE!!!

    Now off to Killington Sunday-Wed to wrap up the season (also ALL HALF PRICE LIFTS because of my MCreek pass!!!)

    I met Gary, quite coincidentally. as he was telemarking!?

  2. Like jt said, many fun mellow runs. Even from the top all the way down to the bottom of the gondola can be fun even though a bit flat it's so long and if no one around its nestled in trees for the bottom part.

    Hey jt, I will be up there by myself next Sunday to Wed. Did you say you know carvers close by?

  3. 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.
