Snow at Killington?

I heard that Killington has K-1 open and I was wondering if anyone has skied Killington yet. If you have is it worth traveling 3 and a half hours because there's probably a long lift line and it hasn't snowed much? And is it open on weekdays? I was just wondering because I really can't wait for the ski season if you know what I mean.

How's the snow, is it decent enough to carve because they've been blowing snow or is it really patchy with ice. And you said the lift lines aren't bad?

Do you think it will be open for next weekend or is it to far to tell or is this a dumb question?

I Posted this in another thread here.


There's a 50/50 chance that Killington may not be open next week.

It all depends how the weather pans out for the upcoming week. If we don't get the good cold temperatures mid-week, they will have trouble being open due to a lack of snow on the lower elevation trails.

Nope. Aside from the fact that it was 60 some degrees yesterday.

Snowmaking tmeps look good the next few nights if they want it with overnight lows in the teens on Wednesday and Thursday.

We'll see.

The seven day looks pretty good for blowing snow.
