Highroad from Snow Shed Crossover
February 1, 2006, 10:30AM

Killington continued to receive light snow overnight. Other than an ongoing visibility problem, ski conditions this morning at Killington were excellent on groomed surfaces of packed powder.

Visibility this morning was poor. The cloud deck extended down to around the 2600 foot level. Killington Peak, the Canyons, and Cascade were totally in the cloud. Bear Mountain had clouds down to the level of the Snow Shed Crossover. Cruise Control had good visibility, but after taking the Skye Ship back to the top of Skye Peak, we found ourselves in clouds again on Skyelark and Bittersweet.

Snow surfaces are in great shape. Killington has had on the order of 6-10 inches of snow this week, giving the groomers lots to play with. We did run into snow making on Skyeway at the junction of Bittersweet, but other than that we did not run into any guns going on our usual route. After 9 runs, even though the snow was great, we decided to call it an early day. If there was some sunshine, we would have stayed out a lot longer.
