i skiied K this morning. Double dipper had a SHITLOAD of powder on it somehow. I guess it all blew onto it or something, because in places there was defintely well over a foot. I was actually really surprised. Anarchy was shitty surprosingly, the throne was nice. There was a park comp with a bunch of little dudes, dont they have school to attend? It was fun though

aaaaaaah, I want that. good to see you're back. the guy who I skied anarchy with mentioned where the light was. I'm not 100% certain still, but I think I've got a better idea of where to go. anyway, by the time I'm back up I'm sure everything will be tracked out so it's time for me to work on park skills. I seem to have a mental block against hitting any bigger jumps. anyone have any tips or willing to help me for like 5 minutes at the mt?

dreammaker will be closed from the homerun cutout down. so from the hip down. we r gunna rework the hip so it gose the other way or something havent realy decied yet but at least it wont just a wasted pile of snow. we may have dreammaker for a few days after sunday becase it dosent need to close until we build the slope on bear claw. .

and im glad you like the jump next to the pipe.

hopfully there will be enought snow left over to scrounge up somthing like that for end of yr. we will see. there is mass amounts of snow on lowerdreammaker above the pipe.

yes serious talk about skye peak quad going to a high speed 6pack and major changes in trails like no cross over no anti venom bear claw starting were it used to at wander g eastern. mostly just having all downhill skiing. the coolest thing is new park trail in between dream maker and skyeburst. and park would start at upper dream maker cut in from skyburst because there is no cross over. laps on high speed chair = so good they better do it and not just talk about it

So it's official:
http://www.killingtonzone.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=21883
[for full text of emails]

Approx. $50 increase in passes (and 3 blackout days back in some passes, I believe)
Skye Peak being replaced with 5 minute High Speed (Includes new towers)
Redoing some trails.. (possibly closing off interconnects between trails for easier top to bottom skiing..?)
Improvements in snowmaking infrastructure.. ?

yeah, I'm def. stoked about the new lift. I always avoided it if I could and took the Bear Mountain Quad instead.

I'm finally heading up this weekend after nearly a month of no skiing, anyone else? I'll be skiing on friday def.      saturday I should be up with a few friends and hopefully sunday too if we stay up. I feel like I need to nail a 3 by the end of this season.

park will start at upper dream maker skyeburst cut in. and will have old dream maker and a new trail cut in between dream and skye burst connecting to the top of grizzly. pretty dope if they actually go threw with it. lets hope they do  that would double are terrain. also 30 grand worth of new rails and boxes. if that dosent get cut out of the budget.

anyone going up for spring loaded? i'm heading up from penn state and it'll be my first time skiing this season (effin foot ligaments and trampolines) and i'm not supposed to "leave the ground." anyway, i was just wondering what the party scene would be like (or lack there of)? the website said no alcohol but i'm bringing a friend who's never been skiing....so i was planning on doing a bit of drinking and showing k-town how psu does it. any info would be greatly appreciated.

wow that would suck if they closed wet dream maker to skiers on the last fucking saturday its open.  Spring loaded is just a rail jam right?  Why would they close the whole park.  If you hear anything could you throw it up in this thread TWA?  Thanks dude

ya it was ok. 1 jump not really fun, then a cluster fuck of rails.  you can really only hit 2 per run.  indludes, redbull feature, flat rail, down rail, flat box, up/angled box, tank bonk from dream maker, flat down flat box, and a cool pipe stuck in the snow that sticks out and up of a sort of jump face so after you slide it its like a 10ft drop.  Good for spins off and stuff.  Park was nothing great

TWA how is there only 2 lines?  Unless they ripped stuff out there is multiple lines.
You can go jump to pipe thing
or jump to flat rail to down rail
or redbull feature
or off camber box way off to skiers right and the tank

not true...

a lot of mountains will actually go by ticket sales... like common sense would dictate. 

Why on earth would anyone turn down money if its there to be made...

Last year killi announced their closing before the season started, and they didnt budge it.  They closed on the announced date at about 75% open.  It sucked
