Looking for a little information on Killington's current park set-up. A group of us are considering coming up this weekend (April 9-10) from Pennsylvania. What do they have set up right now? Is it going to be better than Big Boulder's current set-up?

Bear Mountain just closed down today, if anything is set up in another area it will just be a few rails and boxes or something but I doubt it.

ok cool, thanks for your help. big boulder has 3 or 4 sick parks right now so it's definitely not worth the drive.

Mouse Run is getting a build out and should be up and running for the weekend (word is up and running tomorrow).

Don't know the exact setup, but I would expect them to take advantage of the snow depths and provide a very solid setup to close out the season with.

Ramshead (Timberline) is closed for the season. Bear Mountain (Dream Maker) is also closed for the season.

Have not heard anything about possibly running the Skye Peak Quad for this weekend, much as they did last weekend with Ramshead. If I hear anything, I'll relay it here. However, I do believe that Dream Maker has been dismantled.

oh man, that really bums me out. Thanks for the heads up... guess i'll wait around and see how mouse run turns out and figure out if it's worth the 3 hour drive.

but they don't open it, so it is more like 30 min laps thanks to the slowest chair on the mountain. hopefully they open it for Saturday

why does killington insist of putting three feet of flat after there jumps onto stuff. its annoying as hell and they are the only mountain that does it.

Yeah, sometimes it's not that bad but other times it fucking sucks... -____- /retard

But yeah, the DFD tube thing looks so sketch just because of that lip. I wish they would just be normal with their lips.

Today was so much fun. The park is mad nice, probably won't get there again this year though. That dfd tube thingy was actually mad fun if you got the whole thing, I didn't hit it until the last few runs but ended up hiking for like 3 or 4 hits on it last run. And the S rail......FUUUUU never got the whole thing :/
