Killington <BR>got about a foot of fluff and they started loading just <BR>before 7:30. I got 3rd tracks on Escapade/Flume and 2nd <BR>tracks on Jug/Breakaway. I got stuck skiing out Falls Brook <BR>because they weren't done getting the South Ridge chair <BR>de-iced. Rode the Skye Peak quad and did Skyeship midstation laps 'till 10:00. Vertigo was in really nice shape and Thimble and Upper Needles Eye to either Needles Eye pucker brush or lower Vertigo were excellent. Under the Needles Eye chair was good, too if you bailed out on the lower part. First thing in the morning was a real frenzy and I think I got in 13 runs by 10:00. The benefits of McBFLs. <BR> <BR>I hit KBL for an H2O break and ran into a bunch of folks <BR>including Steven Kijak and the infamous Wong sisters of Garry Waldeck Wobbly/Pickle/Spot alcoholic stupor fame. We all headed out and rode the Superstar quad and dropped down Roundabout to the South Ridge chair. We did a Jug/Jug Handle, a whatever it's called under the South Ridge uphill liftline, and skied down to KBL doing Escapade/Flume. Then back to KBL for a quick bite to eat. After lunch, we did a Chute to Great Bear and I bailed for the day when my knee started really hurting. <BR> <BR>Wasn't the best day ever but one of the better ones this season.
