Killington Open

I grew up in Binghamton, about an hour south of Syracuse.
We skied mainly at Greek Peak, roughly halfway in between those two cities.
The PNW mountains sure are bigger -- and snowier (well, except for this past season) -- but if you learn to ski well on the hills of NY & VT, then you're ready to ski anywhere!

Greek Peak - great area. I  learned to ski in NY and VT. Skied first tracks and then to ski the trails edges because all the snow was moved to the side trails and the middle trails were icy. But then I had young legs. 

As another of the legions of refugees here, I prefer to fondly remember skiing, the mountains and woods, and the people of my beloved VT and NNE. But hey, like the rest of us, it's pretty obvious why I migrated here (16 years ago). I love the Killington report that says "day 4 of longest ski season. Annual snowfall to date: 1.0 inches."
But Long Live Mad River Glen!!! Keepin' it soooooo real.

I'm almost tempted to track that throughout the season to see when the ratio is finally reversed!

O yeah, my stepson, his son and another ski buddy skied at Killington last week.  The fresh made snow with the colorful leave colors of the Northeast. A great way to start the ski season.

I too was alerted to the new Killington snow. I checked their cams--which of course first force you to look at a long ad--and found that the temp at the top of the lift was 52F! I first started skiing back east, in New Hampshire, in the late sixties--which is one reason why I applied for and got a job in Calgary in 1972--where I was able to ski 200 days in two years! All that lovely powder and an education in avalanche danger in the days when you prepared for avalanches by trailing a red line behind you, across avy slopes.
