Killington, VT 10/25/02 Season Opener

[Reeb]

I got there about 11:00 and the parking lot was almost full. They had the K1 <BR>to the top and you skied down Great Northern to the glades area. By the time <BR>I got there all of Rime and Lower East Glade were wall to wall bumps. Soft <BR>forgiving bumps that haven't had a chance to ice up yet. Great Northern was <BR>flat top to bottom all day. Middle Chute and Lower Bunny Buster were open <BR>too. There was barely a lift line on either lift. Where were all the people <BR>from the all of the cars in lot? The bumps were getting bigger as the day <BR>went on and there were a lot of good bump skiers there too. Upper East Glade <BR>had jumps and rails and the skiers left was groomed flat if you wanted a <BR>break from the bumps on Rime. It was a blue jay day with not a cloud in the <BR>sky. Lots of people were saying it was the best opening day ever. The <BR>conditions were amazing for October. <BR> <BR>Reeb
