Needles Eye under a full out snow making assault

Needles Eye under a full out snow making assault

If you read yesterdays report, the report today is very similar. Take yesterdays report, add another couple of inches of light fluff falling from the sky on the mountain tops, turn on every snow gun Killington has, groom most of the trail, deeply till a few more... you get the picture... Conditions are doing nothing at Killington just getting better.

So I did not wind up just repeating yesterdays blog, I though todays post would be just some simple pictures. A lot is going on around the resort, and a picture is worth a 1000 words of course....

Work progresses to build the Superpipe at Bear Mountain.

The resort is working hard to get the Superpipe at Bear Mountain open. Snow cats have pushed huge amounts of snow into the pipe in preparation to carve it our. In todays picture, you can actually see a surveyor to the right of the frame using a laser device to check the work progress. It should be open soon I would guess.

Needles Eye receiving the full snow making treatment

Needles Eye was a blizzard today with snow guns from Panic Button all the way to the Needles Eye Quad. The trail has been a little thin the last few days. This should more than take care of that problem! Look for it to be one of the ROTD's later this week and into next week.

Mary on High Road at Bittersweet

My partner has to work into the blog somehow. This run we took "Sky Road" better know at Skylark to High Road. Snowmaking was in progress on Skylark down to the High Road junction. Lower High Road past the Snowshed quads was thin and probably will enjoy some snow love in the next couple of days.

Lower Superstar to the Umbrella Bars

Superstar is well covered. Grooming on lower Superstar has ground up the surface. It was a little irregular in places which were difficult to detect in the dim light caused by mountain snow flurries. Plenty of snow, however, to last for a long long time!

Snow flurries are constant at Killington right now, slowly adding to mountain base depths. A major storm is projected for late Friday into Saturday. Where will you be skiing and riding this weekend?

Let it snow!
