Any update on Killy? Im thinking this week they will be blowing a lot of snow as the weather looks good.

I was there this past Saturday (11/24). They had a big warm up on Thursday/Friday, which didn't help what little coverage they had. Temps then dropped on Saturday, which led to a lot of ice. Pretty bad conditions overall, but it was still good to get out there for the first time this season. Worth it for me as a tune up.

nethngbtstk, I think you're right-- next weekend SHOULD be much better since they'll be able to blow almost non-stop this week

From reading posts over on KZone Sunday was a completely different day than Saturday and people were very pleased with the quick turnaround. The interactive trail guide shows guns on all over Ramshead, Snowdon, K peak, and Skye. I'm hoping to make it up there for Sunday.

was at killington last weekend (sunday ) .. really wasnt bad, they had about 4-5" of fresh. stayed mostly at ramshead so my gf could get her legs back under her. had a blast though and the mountain had alot more coverage than i expected.

Debating on Hunt or Kill from NYC - 2 hours with low coverage vs 4 hours with good enough coverage this early in the season - getting the sense that Kill will be worth the extra 4 hours there and back...also have other resorts opening so that may drive down those going to Kill.

Killington is expanding quickly and opening up their early season full park on mouse run this Saturday.
