CONDITIONS

2:48 pm 04/10/15–3 inches of dense, velvety snow made for delightful skiing and riding on Thursday and we’re hoping for more of the same today. That fresh snow softened surfaces and allowed Patrol to open trails across the resort, boosting the trail count by more than 30 trails for Friday. We have a couple of weather related delays this morning but most lifts and trails should operate as scheduled.

Showers in the wee hours this morning limited the number of trails slated for grooming but our team still managed to groom 64. Advanced skiers and riders looking for corduroy cruising will find it on East Fall, Superstar, Cascade, and Wildfire, while those looking for an easier way down will find most learning trails groomed. Moguls on the Highline competition venue and natural bump trails like Vagabond should soften through the morning as temperatures rise. Key lifts are scheduled from 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.

Dos Equis Bear Mountain Mogul Challenge
Course preparation is underway on Outer Limits for Saturday’s competition. As an added bonus, the course will remain open to the public on Sunday April 12 from 9:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m, weather permitting. Anyone interested in hitting the BMMC bumps and jumps can fill out a waiver at the top of the course.

As a spring bonus, key lifts* will operate until 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays, weather permitting, so you can enjoy the late afternoon sunshine. Get all the details regarding The Beast’s spring operations on the Insider Blog.

Killington Parks
Our Ramshead Parks have closed for the season but we still have 60 jumps, jibs, boxes, and rails ready to shred in The Stash and Dream Maker. The Superpipe, at the bottom of Bear Mountain, is still going strong too. Get the lowdown.

*Lifts scheduled until 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays, conditions permitting: North Ridge Triple, K-1 Express, Snowdon Quad, Superstar Express, Needles Eye Express, Snowshed Express, Bear Mountain Quad, Northbrook Quad, Sunrise Village Triple, Skye Peak Express.
