Who is in for Kton Friday/Saturday/Sunday?

A foot of new snow in the past 24 hours and we're experiencing our first Powder Day of the season!

Heading into the Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend, we're serving up more than 40 trails and seven lifts, including the K-1 Express Gondola, Superstar Express Quad and the Ramshead Express Quad with terrain for all ability levels. Yep, we'll be feasting on the most open terrain in New England and the most open Turkey Day Trails that we've seen here at Killington in the past 10 years!

Imma considering Kton Place or Placid/Whiteface........if momma nature is playful, that is. I never trust K-ton and their snow reports. Then, again, Placid isn't reporting a thing. Looks like I can get 2 nights lodging and 2 days of tickets for $175/person if we have 4 bodies in a 1 br or 6 bodies in a 2 br at killington, or 4 bodies in a hotel room for two nights with 2 days worth of tickets for 140/person at Placid.

Come on Snow!!!

It's a great hill if they have snow. If its windy, its rough.....icy and coooooooold....very exposed mtn. Also much fewer acreage than Kton........ohh the decisions the decisions!

Ahh, on the contrary. If its raining in K-ton the next two days, resulting in 2 inches of new snow, versus snowing in placid the next two days, resulting in 8-10 inches of new snow.....imma hitting placid, all it needs is to be open on Friday!

That being said, Holiday Valley is set to get hit with 9+ inches by thursday.

I think I will be able to hit holiday again this weekend. If you guys come back out this way I'd make sure to catch up w/you this time. Krishan I think you have my # now so call or text if you guys do come out. We got a couple inches last night here in OH. They usually get at least double what we get in NY. I've done K-ton before it's about 12hrs for me so I won't be able to make that one if that's where you guys end up.

This whole early shizz has me a bit nervous. Imma only makin the drive if its good conditions....Was going to go to HV to catch the height of the fall today and tomorrow, but I didn't want to dick with it. I am sticking with my Game-Time decision! I needs me a good nor-easter to dump on the whole northeast!
