This is pretty much the truth. It was coming down allllll day. Seeing some reasonable accumulations too! It was an awesome day out there.

Definitely hit up the Killington Park Update on here. I'll post up the photos I snapped of the setups today but they are terrible as my camera phone was wet, fogging up, and the weather was not terribly conducive to taking pictures.

That's the Hip/Jib up at the start of the park

Then it moves into the flat box

Up next is the flat rail

And then finishing up with the DFD rail

Again, sorry the pictures are such terrible quality!

the temps tonight and tomorrow will be very close to rain or snow. it will probably rain at the base but snow at the top and even if it snows up top the weekend should be fine. they have a good base up there and because of the walkway they need very little snow to stay open because the area used for skiing is so high up on the mountain
