Airing out the Super Pipe
at Bear Mountain

Beautiful bluebird skies, mild temperatures, light crowds, plenty of snow. Visitors to Killington today were greeted to great skiing and riding conditions as we close out the Presidents Holiday Week.

When I visited Bear Mountain early in the afternoon, a small group of skiers and riders were clustered on the Superpipe just having some fun. For today's picture, I happened to have captured a boarder at takeoff - just about to launch off the rim of the SuperPipe. Of course, if you have never been in the pipe, the picture does not do the rider justice. The wall of the pipe is around 20 feet tall. It's a long way down and yet it looks so easy! Let it snow!
