  8. NO Park Pass needed this season, ski or ride where ever you like.
  9. If you don’t need any services at the lodges and are OK with booting at your car, the Yale Lot is the place to park. (less walking) After you pass Rams Head and the Medical Clinic you make a right. See Killington area map for the location, Its Lot P. You boot at the car and walk to the Great Northern Trail which will take you to Rams Head. If you need a ticket you can get it there. If you or any of your party has a ski industry courtesy letter from a ski shop they work at or ski patrol/ski school comp letters, you will need to go to Snow Shed ticket windows inside the Snow Shed lodge to get your ticket.
  10. The Snow Shed parking lot at Killington is bigger then there whole ski area.

  13. Jay Peak Drops Ticket Prices 10/17/2012 SAM Magazine--October 17, 2012, Jay, VT--Jay Peak Resort today announced that it is lowering the prices of all its lift tickets. For example, a single-day lift ticket last year was $75, but will be $64 this season. Ten dollars will be taken off each additional day purchased. The move comes while the area undergoes a $500 milion renovation. Since 2008, the resort has invested in new lodging, snowmaking, chairlifts, base lodges, restaurants, a conference center and a 60,000-square-foot indoor water park. "Having new profit centers succeeding at the pace they are gives us the freedom to apply pricing flexibility to areas like lift tickets," says resort VP Steve Wright.

    Elk Mtn Law Suit??

    ELK, HOMEOWNERS SPAR OVER LAND USE 10/22/2012 SAM Magazine—Union Dale, Pa., Oct. 22, 2012—Elk Mountain and its neighboring resort community, the Village of Four Seasons, have been squabbling over property issues. The latest tiff: the Village has lodged a lawsuit against the ski resort, charging that the resort wrongly claimed and transferred a section of the village's property to Elk. The Village alleges that Elk claimed ownership of a parcel and then built a gravity sewer line through it, rather than opt for a more costly route. The Village wants ownership of the land resolved in its favor and the sewer line removed. Elk and the Village have been at odds before. A year ago, the Village sued Elk over water rights to the pond in the village, which is connected to a snowmaking pond on the resort property. The village also sued Elk to keep a gate between the two properties open, so that Village residents could walk to the slopes rather than take a shuttle or walk a longer route. The gate itself has been the subject of sporadic attempts at resolution since 1988; the latest negotiations failed in 2010. Elk officials did not return our call regarding the latest lawsuit.

  19. Skier Rescue: Woman Survives After Becoming Trapped Upside-Down in Creek Bed Video Link: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/skier-trapped-upside-amazing-rescue-16053267 Sierra at Tahoe Resort April 2, 2012 A Lake Tahoe, Calif., woman narrowly escaped death last week after she became trapped upside down in the snow for half an hour with diminishing amounts of oxygen while her husband struggled in vain to free her. The dramatic rescue of Kristin Jacobsen was caught on camera after she accidentally fell into a creek bed while skiing with her husband Eric at the Sierra at Tahoe resort. Kristin flipped head over heels into the powder while the two were heading down a black diamond trail with fresh powder. The couple regularly hit the slopes there and say they know that mountain quite well. "Just as Kristin was coming up behind my right, I noticed a small divot in the snow. Just as I'm saying the words, 'don't go there!' Kristin just literally disappeared," Eric Jacobsen said. Kristin told ABC News that her feet came up and her head went down immediately, and then she began to sink. She said that her initial thought was that it might be an avalanche. From the surface, all that could be seen was the bottoms of her skis. "Snow packs in around you like cement. So it was silent, I couldn't hear a thing," Kristin said. "I couldn't hear Eric screaming." Eric told ABC News that all he was able to do was dive in and try to dig his wife out. But the more he dug, the more she sank. Soon the snow started to swallow him too, and he became stuck up to my waist, in a situation he described as "just helpless." But his wife's quick thinking may have helped save her life. "I knew I needed to make an air pocket, but I couldn't move my arms to create a pocket. I tried to rock my head back and forth a little bit but I was able to make maybe an inch or two of air, and I knew it wasn't going to last for very long," Kristin said. "It wasn't like being buried underground. It was a sea of white. When I started to lose consciousness I remember trickles over my eyes, it might have been tears." Luckily, Zach McAllister and Merick Rickman from the mountain's ski patrol were nearby. "I just happened to be riding up the lift and saw her husband digging. I don't know [how long] she was in the hole before I saw her husband, but he said that it took us approximately 10 minutes to get there," McAllister told ABC News. It took the ski patrol 20 minutes more to dig Kristin out as she was buried head first in the snow. "She was completely unconscious," McAllister said. "She was completely cyanotic, which means she was blue all over. When I got down there I just opened her airway and started to clear her chest of snow. Doing so she spontaneously started breathing on her own. "We were possibly minutes away from not seeing her alive again," he added. Kristin said that after the ordeal was over, "we just held each other and cried." McAllister and Rickman said that the couple was very lucky to have survived the incident, and that they did everything right. The couple says they are thankful that the ski patrol showed up in time. "If they literally hadn't arrived exactly when they did it would be a very different story," Kristin said.

  21. From Sunday River's website: Sunday night, we're going to do what we do best; provide the most dependable snow in New England. How? We're turning on the snowguns baby! Yes, that is not a typo or a brain-fart. We really, truly are. Where? We're going to start up high on Barker and Locke and as temps allow we'll cover South Ridge. Why are we doing this? Isn't it a waste of money? The truth is, we're doing this because it's our dedication to you. This is why we have the most dependable snow in New England. This is why we open before Halloween four years in a row. This is why we are known to have the longest season in the East. This is why we're your Happy Place. From Jay Peak's Face Book Site: Looks cold enough to us--we're turning the guns back on. Lighting things up for a good 24 hour period or so Monday into Tuesday. More details to follow today. Spring huh?
