It is a beautiful sunny day at Killington. We received some light fluff last night, just enough to make everything look quite beautiful this morning in the bright sunshine.

Over the last week, there have been a lot of very good skiers and riders at Killington. Most of them have been young freestylers participating in competitions at the mountain all week, or training for the US Freestyle Championships which will be held at Killington in late March. You can see training and competing at the bump course set up on Outer Limits, and in the Super Pipe at the bottom of Dream Maker. What is impressive about many of them is the fearlessness they have. Over the last week, I have witnessed many of them going inverted on a jump in the bump course, not to mention some very big air. I know I am looking forward to seeing the freestyle event in the Olympics, set to kick off this evening.

If you are interested in seeing the US Freestyle Championship first hand, plan to be in Killington from March 22 thru March 26. You can find out more about the events at the Freestyle Championship from Killington Freestyle Website.
