Rogue's Gallery on Killington Peak

Spring skiing and riding has finally arrived at Killington. The last few days have been great with firm surfaces early softening up as the day goes on.

I missed Monday (meetings...bloody meetings...) but Mary represented the inn on the mountain. Today both of us had a chance to take some turns under beautiful blue skies and warming temperatures.

The mountain has become somewhat smaller this week with the closure of Bear Mountain and Rams Head. Showshed was open to support a group of British school kids. It will be shutting down on Thursday leaving Skye Peak via Superstar and Killington Peak via the K1 Gondola being the last mountains at Killington standing for the season.

Today on the mountain we started with laps on Superstar. It was firm, flat, and fast at 9:00 AM. By 9:30 the lower section was starting to soften. By 11:00 it was corning up nicely. Bittersweet and Skyelark were similar to Superstar. We also took an excursion over to Panic Button and Upper Needles Eye which were in great shape with minimal skier traffic.

On Killington Peak, Cascade by 10:00 AM was wonderfully soft. East Falls, which is more south facing, was the same, as was Highline. We did not get a chance to get over to the terrain covered by the Snowdon Quad, but several friends were raving about it when I spoke with them this afternoon.

Let it snow.
