Rebuilding Bear Mountain Superpipe
March 13, 2006, 12:30 PM

If you are in the ski business....ya gotta believe!!!

Like Tony Soprano, old man winter has wounded Killington these last couple of days, but the mountain has a lot of life left before the 2005-2006 ski season ends.

Needless to say, surface conditions today at Killington were wet. Primary slopes where the mountain has done a lot of snow making this season are holding up fairly well. Secondary slopes are another story. The weather forecasters, and when have they been right this winter, are implying that we have another 18 hours of so of this weather, before winter returns with snow showers on the back side of the storm.

Killington continues to get ready for the Sprint US Freestyle Championships scheduled for March 22 thru 26th. Workers were photographed today using 3 snow grooming machines roughing in the new Superpipe, which Killington filled with snow last week. When they rebuilt the pipe in the past, it has usually taken 3 to 4 days to complete the work, which would probably be the case this time as well.
