Justin A. Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Go somewhere else or bring a shorter board. Killington is CROWDED. Maybe it will be better on a friday, but it is still also WICKED expensive (on the order of $13 for a burger) Good luck! ________ Honda RA106 history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 many times use the search function K-mart is alright, lots to explore weekends and holidays there are crouded and the trail layout is such that collisions are common but it is a decent carving hill when there are not lots of joeys out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Buggs Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 If you can go somewhere else do it. Hated Kmart even when I was on Skis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie00 Posted January 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 is friday the 3rd a holiday in the States? It's an organised trip so I can't really go somewhere else unless I drive, the price is cheap. for 69$ Canadian, I get bus + lift ticket and all I have to do is sit in the bus at 5 am in Montreal sleep... ride and sit in the bus at 4 pm drink a few beers and sleep. Just want to try something new. Thanks for the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Buggs Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 If you are at the Superstar lift check out Skylark to the left of Superstar looking up from the bottom. It was a good trail back in the day. Superstar might be a bit much depending on how they have been taking care of it. The Stuff on Snowdon mtn is where we used to meet up and carve and the glades chair. I still think that Skylark was the best. You never know what you are going to get at Kmart.

Justin A. Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 When I went I had a ball on pipe dream during lunch time (everyone was inside eating) Minus the cost (you already did it with the bus trip, thats how I went too) and the crowds, its a great mountain. ________ Magic Flight Launch Box Review Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willywhit Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I don't think Sugarbush is ASC anymore. It's not good for my ASC pass. Killington mid week is fine. Go to Bear Mt and ride Bear Claw for some quality carving. Check out Will Garrow in the old Warren Miller movie on Bear Claw. If you don't know the clip I mean, let me know and I'll dig it up.

bobdea Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 hit or miss but assuming that it has been cold for a few days or if its been snowing and its not really busy you are gonna have a blast there talk to Jack or mirror70 for the hot tips or maybe even a tour guide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbb Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Get there early (I think they open 8:00 on weekends) and not too bad until 10:00 when all the previous night partyers show up. My favorite is Skyeburst off Skye Peak Quad near Bear. Its wide and not too steep. Also Wildfire off Bear is good. If intermediate, try Header off Rams Head Quad, very wide.

Ernie00 Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 well looks like rain is back on the forcast for the east coast. Argh. I'll keep my sick days and see then what is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
