Killington, Vt Ski Trip - Day 4

Last day of the trip produced great views, funny stories, one great video

A couple of crashes ended the day on a week long of fun

This was the view we were blessed with late in the day today coming down one of Killington's black diamonds on the K-1 side of the mountain.  Visibility went on for miles and the sky was magical.  It was surreal to ski down all day long.

Today was a great day of skiing.  All the runs that were getting blown with snow were perfect and the crews changed the guns to other runs which only allowed for better skiing on the new runs.  Some great photos came of today highlighted (in my opinion at least) above as the sky was changing colors all day.  During another five hours of skiing I was able to snag a great wreck by Bob on video, along with a few other videos too.  Check them out below the pictures.

Killington revealed her best skiing of the week as

snow machines added over a foot of base last night

A day filled with snow machines, powder, and a few falls

Here lies Outer Limits, the steepest mogul run in the east.  I have paid homage to this great run for the past three years but have only ever conquered this beast once, two years ago.  We did three runs and it was all our legs could handle because it was some of the most physically demanding skiing I have ever done.  

We finally woke up to about an inch of fresh natural snow in the morning and it was nice to see on the slopes after two days of ice and bare spots.  The crews have not stopped making snow all week long and it all payed off as today was by far the best day of skiing, even though we were skiing in a cloudy mist for most of the day.  I have a video posted below of a snow maker up close, and what they do when ski gloves are put in their path.

I took this from the chairlift on the way up, it was worth the freezing hand that I was left with.

Great skiing in the morning today.  Early birds got the worm today as there was plenty of snow that eventually washed out to ice later in the day.  Very cold still, close to zero when we walked out the door, and the wind chill made everyone freeze.  We were on last chair though for the second day in a row and had a blast nonetheless.

Nothing like seeing the great state of Vermont again.  I started going to Vermont to ski two years ago with three buddies from school and from back home that I knew. That group grew to ten of us that drove up the ten hours from Greensburg, Pa to Killington, Vt. for four days of skiing and a week of fun in the green state. Only problem was the lack of snow.  Just take a look of what we saw the entire drive up, no snow until we arrived in our condo parking lot.
