k was good today

[Brock Landers]

Still there? I’m wearing one of those practical but silly vests. I’m right in front of the deck at one of the picnic tables.

I left around 12:15/12:30. Great day!

Skiing bumps in a t shirt sounds good to me. Looks like fun

Will bucket be on a pair of bros 20 yrs from now? We better set aside a few pairs now...

(6:02 pm friday)
props to the trail building creativity of the ops crew.
their work held together. i'd expected to walk down the headwall late day.
there's time for that yet, but superstar skied great today, a bit of reefy base ice in stretches but higher w/e volume will take care of some of that.
was pretty country club today with carry-on lifts.
runs with scottski a bonus.

Good crowd at Killington on Sunday. Ran into Buckethead a couple times.





June 1st seems like a stretch.

[buckethead]

good to see you powbmps.
what a fun day!



am holding out hope for one more miracle groom from mtn ops. last weds it was hard to see how they'd run lifts all weekend. weather looking cooperative...we'll see

[buckethead]

a chance, a chance
for one last dance

[akokskis]

holy crap skiing is fun fun fun!!!

[buckethead]

^^good to see you were there akok and nice pics (i bumped into powbmps on my first downhike) i planned to get there by eight, thinking i'd beat the smallish crowd. after seeing the pics of the line, i'm happy with my 9:30 arrival. i still got a shirt and after my first wait for the lift the crowd had died down.

k has taken the art of sonar-assisted snow farming to new heights.
as the webcam showed gaps of bare ground multiple lift towers long, it became harder to suspend disbelief, but by weds k posted a drone vid of the patchwork and hinted at a june reopening.
by thursday afternoon june 1 was official.
other than the downhike, there was enough width (and depth) that superstar felt all there.
no novelty, the skiing was legit all day. by the time the thin areas gave way around 3:30, it was no biggie.

well played, dudes. worth the 15 minutes it took to load the site today.

[buckethead]

^^ no shite!
i was completely unable to log on yesterday.
took several tries to get some pics up...more to come

[powbmps]

Fun, fun, fun for sure!

My shots are strangely similar to bucket and akok. Weird .

Nice to see the winch cats put to use.

Kid kept his shirt on this time.

Lines on the flatter section were shaping up nicely.

Mmmmmmmm......urea!

Called it quits at 1, before anyone got hurt.

Always a good time.

[buckethead]

^^ha! snow is apparently boring when it's everywhere. so many eyes were watching the superstar cam hoping ops could roll out one more day.

Fun, fun, fun for sure!

My shots are strangely similar to bucket and akok. Weird .

the same line at 10:05. a less social but very chill (yet giddy) walk up from bay 1, thinking "will they make it to 4pm?" - yes!
