"Whaddya mean, no coupons today?" Grumble. <BR> <BR>I took many runs on my new tele gear: Volkl G20 skis, Rossi combi boots and Voile 3-pin+cables w/risers. Hot damn, I was actually able to buy a turn. 
I played with variations on "the turn" all day, and was fairly comfortable on any angle slope I tried by the end of the day. Parallels worked well too and by the end of the day I was laying the boards over with parallels nearly as well as with alpine gear, and even trying some (very) small bumps. The choice trail of the day was Bunny Buster. <BR> <BR>It was definitely a gore-tex day. On the upside, the place was deserted, it wasn't cold and the snow was loose, soft and fast. <BR> <BR>Observations: <BR>Killington Deli? at Rt 4 & Access road makes a great sandwich. <BR>Detachable lifts don't do so well in freezing rain. <BR>Gondolas are a pain with tele gear. <BR>Taped Goretex works (shell), Entrant doesn't (pants). <BR>Untaped goretex doesn't work either. (mitt shells) <BR>168's aren't too short for a scrawny guy like me. <BR>Route 2 from St. Johnsbury to the NH border still sucks. Someone at the VT Dept. of Trans. needs to buy a straightedge.
