I went over to Killington to ski this morning. <BR> <BR>Lift tickets are $25, ride pickup truck to Canyon quad to upload and download when done skiing (there is a placard at the downloading ramp stating that when there are downhill passengers the speed is limited to 250 feet per minute - yuck). <BR> <BR>Rime (Upper and Lower) and East Glade (Upper and Lower) are open - that makes 4 trails - they are blowing very wet snow on Lower E.Glade and is not fun (traverse, gorilla turn, etc.). <BR> <BR>They made snow all over last night and groomed, so it is a fresh and nice (for machine snow) surface. The snow guns were off on Rime and Upper E.Glade and there was no fog. <BR> <BR>The lift shack thermometer at the base of the Glades chair read about 27 degrees at around 11 AM. <BR> <BR>Where I saw snow guns running: <BR>- From K.Peak down to Glades on Great Northern. <BR>- They started up some guns on Upper Canyon (above Goat^H^H^H^H Great Northern). <BR>- On Lower West Glade (more "Great Northern"). <BR>- The connector (Killink?) from the top of Snowdon to the base of the Glades. <BR>- Rim Run (I think) going from the base of Glades over to Snowdon. <BR>- A bunch of guns around the mid-section of Snowdon - it looked like under the upper lift line of the Snowdon quad - Bunny Buster. <BR>- There were *NO* guns running on the bottom half of Snowdon as of late morning. I didn't see any other snow being made. <BR> <BR>So, *maybe* they'll crank out a lot of snow tonight and get K.Peak to K.Base open tomorrow, but Sunday looks like a better bet due to the lack of snow on lower Snowdon. <BR> <BR>P.S. The Stowe web site trail report indicates they have made snow on Lord, North Slope, and Ridge View - when they get all these covered, hopefully they can open the quad. Last word I heard is that they hope to open Sunday.)
