  1. Chadds Peak perhaps? I used to ski there every day after school in the 80s on my high school ski team. Great memories of friends, poma lifts, night skiing, and slalom racing. Every time I ski at night I think about those care free nights spent at Chadds Peak. Here is a link to the DCski website where they have a couple of pictures of the place nowadays. http://www.dcski.com/lostareas/viewlostprofile.php?id=30
  2. I'm very interested, but does BB have anything open for the non-park skier?
  3. Here is a picture from March 31. I'm sure you know about this website but just in case you don't check out http://timefortuckerman.com/ Tuck's is one of those trips I need to make before I die.
  4. It's funny you mention that because a bunch of locals were saying the same thing as you, that it was all due to the sale of the mountain. They said that they normally ski into May but they are worried about it this year.
  5. I think they are supposed to get some snow this week. That should make for a good weekend. When I pulled out of Killington on Monday it was raining and foggy. I had a blast last weekend. Here are a few photos. The Bear parking lot was full real early and the Bear Mountain access road was filled by 11 a.m. We had to park on the access road and hike the rest of the way up. It took so long that 4:20 came early in the woods. There was a mogul competition on Saturday on Outer Limits. However, it was indeed warm and spring-like. Killington has seen better conditions this late into the year. I think this is Ovation next to Superstar. The conditions didn't bother some people. Here is what that guy had to ski over to get to the previous photo. Of course the whole mountain isn't like this. Here is the view from Superstar which was awesome to do laps on. Bear Mountain was pretty packed and skied out due to the festivities. The deck at the lodge was rocking. Well after the skiing there is nothing better than enjoying a beverage of one's choice and enjoying some good music. Blue Oyster Cult was waiting for us at the bottom. They are playing "Don't Fear The Reaper" in this photo and if you look closely at the front row you can see a few fans who brought their own cowbells and played along. Sunday was much less crowded and we actually got to park in the Bear parking lot. After another ripping day of skiing we just kicked back for a little tailgating. Here is a happy Johnny Style.
  6. That would be awesome but it is raining like cats and dogs right now here in Philly. I can only imagine that Blue is getting soaked as well.
  7. Killington was OK today. Frankly, Blue was just as good last Monday night. There were bumps galore, as even the flat runs built up some nice soft bumps by the end of the day. Lots of bare spots though. Today wasn't about skiing so much as the vibe anyway. I quit around two to get a good spot for Blue Oyster Cult and spent the rest of the day with a few thousand of my new friends drinking and smoking the day away. Don't fear the reaper. And yes, there were two guys with cowbells in the front row. I've got lots of potos but I'm on a friends computer at the moment. Perhaps later as a TR.
