Yeah dude, I've been up there twice now and there was plenty of snow but it fucking poured all day today so I doubt their would be enough snow. I don't think it would be worth it man, but of course that's just me.

The Gold Project will be there tomorrow. Not sure if we'll be doing any shooting, that depends upon the weather, but we'll be there so hit us up if you want some people to ride with.

Indeed they will be. Weather certainly isn't going to be beautiful, but it shouldn't be raining and it'll be warm so the snow should be pretty nice.

i was there today.  i was really impressed with the amount of snow they had even with all the damn rain.   the lower mountain was beginning to thin but the trail with the features on it (don't know the name, sorry) was fine.  of course there will probably be a bit less snow tomorrow, but it won't be raining.  definitely worth it!

I'm not really a fan of killy. Always expensive for what they have open. Doubt they have  much of a park set up.

If i lived in new jersey I'd prolly like killy much better.

I think I'm going to the okemo jam though

While yes, the price is a little higher than your overage mountain you can't really complain. They're definitely going to have the best terrain on the east tomorrow, if anywhere else is even open. The park setup is actually a lot of fun. To each their own though, no disrespect. The okemo jam will probably be a lot of fun as well, and it won't be $50.

Killington should be a ton of fun though and i'm excited to head there tomorrow.

Skied yesterday. Plenty of snow up in the Northridge area, which is where the 3 features are setup on Reason. Rime and Upper East fall were smooth with no bumps on that day. Plenty of room for some good turns coming down the Lower Chute area of the mountain. Coverage was solid yesterday, but I'd imagine the rain did some damage though down low. Might have to dodge some bare spots down there.

Yeah, it is kind of pricey, but there is nowhere else open aside from Sunday River.

today definitely wasn't freshly groomed but there were absolutely no moguls.  if you stay on the trails that the lift (not the gondola) services you'll be fine.
