Ok so for those of you on the East Coast who are incredibly impatient like myself, and have driven themselves crazy watching skiing videos and getting hyped for the 16/17 winter season. The question is, when will we finally be blessed with a nice tiny patch of snow & early season rail garden at the beast.

As we know, last season Killington opened on October 19th... which is right around the corner. What should we expect this year?

Anyone with any insight/rumors as to when they will be opening this year will be appreciated with +k

Cheers

Titus69Id rather wait a bit til my local hill blows a bit so I can bring my rails to setup, early season Killington is honestly so shitty unless its a week day and somehow slow. So many assholes whether its park or normal skiing.


Whats this local hill sounds dope to set up your own stuff

Crotched. I did it once last year, just setup a few pvc rails after they blew a bit before it got super warm in November.

True I tried setting up even the tiniest boxes from crotched and they're like 80 pounds each. I'm hyped to ski the early setup on he bunny hill there, small features but fun to lap for a few hours. Hopefully they just don't start checking for tickets

SkiBum.Jib that fast grass.

Might want to do some crunches tonight to get ready for that stair hike. Maybe mom can make an extra plate of food for ya.


We like to let our haters be our motivators. Sorry for being stoked on skiing in October after the worst season on record. Foh

Update for the homies. Killi recieved aprox 6-8 inches last night (Thursday night) of dumpage. Nice thick snow that has left a solid base. Around 3 in the morning that changed to rain, higher elevation may have continued to receive snow. The snow is now soaked through by the rain. Should be good snow for shredding this weekend but absolutely drenched. If you are going skiing this weekend bring rain gear and extra layers! Also the roads are terrible.
