rschneid58 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Hi all. I have been inactive for quite a while. I am managed a ski trip out to steamboat 2 weeks ago for my kids and rented a board and had a lot of fun leaving trenches. The bug is back. I live in Germantown md, and after giving up on getting back out to Colorado I am setting my sights on killington VT this weekend. As far as I can tell they still have plenty of snow. Can someone please verify that I am not crazy to spend 9 hrs driving up there on Friday to ride for two days? Assuming the answer is yes, what lifts/runs should I be looking at to retrain my ancient and decayed carving muscles? I LOVED tomahawk, sunshine and flintlock at SB. So I am a low level intermediate carver. I want fun wide easy slopes to relearn my carve. Thanks for any advice. Rich Schneider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Brammer aka PSR Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) Yes, K-mart has Snow, but grooming maybe a bit iffy-ish, but complete enough to get around. Stay where you can traverse to (it's a Killington speciality) within your group, but expect good conditions everywhere except Glades, and the random mud-hole at trail's edge. Overall, it looks pretty good there. But, Okemo is still in better shape, overall. Edited March 29, 2017 by Eric Brammer aka PSR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pow4ever Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 To answer OP's Q: I remembered Ramshead area have some nice mellow carve run. Never had a "great carving day" @ Killington but that's all weekend context. Maybe on the weekday it's better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryj Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Hey RS Check the forecast ...........could be a tough weekend for carving - another big storm is heading towards VT and NH for Fri/Sat!!! I see 9 inches at Killington by Friday night...................and it looks like it sweeping across between Mt. Snow at 13 inches at 13 inches Friday night and Killlington, .....and personally, I would go anywhere But Killington.............south of Killington is Okemo, Magic, Bromley, Stratton, Mt. Snow.....not sure if their all still open but they all are better options than Killington and their all are supposed to get over 10 inches by Friday night! Hope ya got a Powder Board!
