Ruts and Gary exiting the Super Pipe at Bear Mountain

It took a while, but Killington is back together after the Dew Tour.

The mega-features for the slopestyle events on Skye Burst have been removed. In their place are some of the biggest piles of snow on Skye Burst you will ever see. Skiing well into the spring should be a lock.

All of the hits that were on Skye Burst have now been moved to lower Dream Maker. A full park has been set up with the usual assortment of boxes, rails, and jumps. The park was open this morning and it was in great shape.

Overall ski conditions today featured groomed packed powder. Most of the trails had seen grooming overnight. Snow surfaces were soft, especially at the edges of the trails. Un-groomed trails, like Lower Sky Lark were firm with slick spots. I was able to negotiate lower Sky Lark quite easily (well tuned equipment plus multiple ski days on my legs), but I did see a few visitors having some problems getting down the trail.

Snow making was actively taking place on Upper Wildfire and Superstar. A lot of snow was being laid down on both trails.

Outer Limits was probably the run of the day for my short time on the mountain. A low cloud made the visibility at the entrance a little tough, but once you were below it the trail was a soft, steep groomer. I held a line down skiers right where snowmaking was taking place earlier in the week. Really nice snow.

Light snow is currently falling at Killington as I write this. We don't anticipate much, but it will keep the area looking fresh and skiing fun..so....Let it snow!
