High Line - Groomed flat and fast.

High Line - Groomed flat and fast.

If you could find a fault with today at Killington, you should have your attitude adjusted. It was just a beautiful blue bird day on the mountain. By 10:00 AM, temperatures were in the middle teens, the sun was shining brightly, there was very little wind, and the mountain was groomed to perfection. Just a nice day to ski!

Everywhere we went today, with the exception of some standing bump runs, was groomed flat awaiting the forecasted snow storm due to hit the area early Wednesday morning. Today was a day to cruise in the sunshine. True you should have been wearing a neck gator to keep your face warm, but this is January in Vermont after all.

There is little point in explaining run by run today, as they were all in great shape. There are so many candidates for run of the day. If I were to go with unadulterated cruising, Bittersweet would be high on the list. If I wanted to add a little technical component, Dream Maker from top to bottom deserves consideration, as well as the right side of Superstar.

There were a several minor spots where you needed to pay some attention. The snow making whales on the bottom of Sky Burst are getting ground up into ball bearings ranging from pea sized to golf balls. The bumps on skiers right on Needles Eye were a little unorganized with some slick troughs. Lower Sky Lark had some mammoth bumps left over from weekend snow making. These just added to the challenge of cruising in the sunshine; throwing in a little spice to keep things interesting.

And dare we think Powder Day for Wednesday or Thursday......let it snow!
