Shaping Aerials Jump on Outer Limits begins

Shaping Aerials Jump on Outer Limits begins

Other than the grey cloud cover from the clipper systems moving through the area, today was a really nice ski day at Killington.

Like yesterday, surfaces were soft packed powder around the whole mountain. We started our day with a couple of warm up runs down Highline off the K1 gondola. We followed those runs with a run down Cascade. Highline was great, but Cascade was probably the best it has been all season.

After Cascade, we headed to Bear Mountain. Bear Trap, Bear Claw, Wild Fire, and Skye Burst were all nice. While we were a Bear Mountain, we did not take Outer Limits. Work has begun on the Aerials Jump that will be used in various competitions in March on Outer Limits. The huge snow whales that had been blown on OL earlier in February were being groomed into a large pile where the aerials jump was positioned last year. About mid-way down Outer Limits, skiers were being diverted towards Devils Fiddle.

I needed to depart the mountain early today to man the inn as Mary has headed to Boston, so I can not comment on the Needles Eye area. On my way out I did a run down Superstar. Like the rest of the mountain, it was beautiful. Skiers left on Lower Superstar had the bumps groomed out of it. The compound fall line and the soft groomed surface were a great end to my short day on the mountain. Let it snow!
