i was at killy on friday this is what i remember being set up
on bear, bear trap is open with like 3 decent sized jumps, 1 fd rail, 1 flat box, a quarterpipe, and a barrel bonk from what i remember
on k1, reason has been open with a fucked up jump and like 3 boxes, 3 rails, and a cool barrel jib
also timberline on ramshead looked like it had a nice setup but i didnt get over there for very long

yea i was up this morning and skiied OL once, it was pretty sweet. I was dissapointed devils fiddle wasnt open, even though i could have easily ducked the rope i didnt really want to risk getting my pass pulled. Julio and Anarchy are sick if you like tight tree skiing with tonsssss of snow. Big dipper was really good in the morning too

I was at Okemo on the 31st and we got like 6 or 8 inches maybe and I was like I bet Killington's got some more right now but then this guy on the lift was like no it's a southern storm blah blah okemo got more snow. long story short did you really get a foot? if so then why the fuck do I always end up at Okemo on pow days when Killington's got more snow and steeper terrain!!!!!

ah sweet, that random old dude on the lift had no idea what was going on. I've been skiing Killington all my life (which coincidentally isn't really that long) and I never get there on a pow day. I reeeeeeally want to go down cascade with a foot of fresh snow. and outer limits. and double dipper. and superstar. and any other trail.
shit, I just want to go skiing.

I can only imagine. that's such a fun trail too, even when it's not covered in pow.

timberline-first set of jumps with box and maybe a rail on the side, no more rainbow box just a flat rail, rest of jumps are the same and the last rail was taken out leaving only a box at the end. reason doesnt have a hip anymore, just fuf box, flat rail, down rail, oil jibs, and some others taht were closed off today. the park on bear was completely closed today. everything was melted down a bit. as for the pipe, they were packing it down with the snow cats and it looks like it will be ready to cut in the next few days.

sweeeet.well, it could have been right before because it was pretty warm so they probably had to rework everything. how is it now? I'm heading up next weekend, I hate not skiing for a few weeks. I wanna goooooooooooooooooooooooooo, waaaaaaaaaaaaahh! I really do want to go.. haha.

i dont believe that you can ski outer limits all day without having your thighs get tired until the end of the day, unless you have bionic thighs. I challenge you to a ski off!

i remember th epipe was really narrow last year too. Oh well at least there is a pipe! Hopefully they'll improve on the cutting, cause any east coast pipe is icy when its cold out

i was just up there for 3 days and let me tell you the park is super nice. a lot better than my home mountain. timberline was a lot of fun with small stuff, bear was small but was nicely set up, and dream maker was just fucking awesome. so smooth, so much stuff haha i can't even put words to it cause ive never seen a park like that before
