Sorry if this is old news, but I just saw this comment they made on their Facebook. I'm pumped.

Did they start blasting on superstar like the old days?

I remember a few years back they stopped doing that. Or did they just have an obscene amount of snow left?

I love that Killy is open this late, but my season is over so I probably won't make it up.

You kids are retarded jibbers. Fucking worthless.

Go ski. Its late in the season. I know half of you can barley ski to get to the park, but this is a good time to learn to ski like a normal person. Buy a ticket, ski some spring bumps.

downvote this man, but he's right. learn to ski some proper bumps, rip some spring groomers, or jib some natural snow. just go ski and have fun skiing. i'm an east coast park rat as much as the next guy but some people gotta learn to have fun just skiing

They had almost 40 (I counted) guns going on superstar earlier this year. They did that for a couple of weeks, there was copious amounts of snow.
They took down the hike park last weekend too

Park is gone but I think it would be sweet if they put in a few boxes/rails over on the side of the actual trail.

If not, you could always enjoy some bumps. The strip that they groom will bump up fast, but they will be far enough apart to gap them and other shit.

they used to have a sign on one of the lift towers that said "open into june 30 years in a row". So glad that even with new management they are bringing this back.

Ya respect to them for this. I saw the midweek pass price was really cheap if I ever am stuck on the East coast for an entire winter I'd buy that b/c Killy on the weekends isn't my idea of fun. If you go skiing on June 2 its obviously to fuck around and is basically like going to an indoor snowdome. BUt the plusses are you can get tanked or trip acid and it doesn't matter who you go with its chill to roll up with people who haven't skiied before.
