Day 65 - Killington

We had a couple of inches of snow overnight and this is Killington so of course the lifts weren’t running this morning… … … Parked at Snowdon but the Quad hadn’t moved by 8:50 so looked to move to K-1 - of course it wasn’t moving either… … …  Luckily Superstar was turning, albeit with frequent stops, but hey it was running so we drove over to the end of Bay 3, walked over, and loaded right at 9:00.  When we reached the bottom for our third run it was closed… … … WTF?  I wasn’t walking anywhere, so I convinced Tom to ski through Learn to Ski down to Snowshed. However with a couple of inches of fresh snow, Learn to Ski was Learn to Walk… … … Eventually we ended up at the Snowshed Quad and it was actually running, so we rode up and decided to do Low Road and catch Skyship.  We got down to Needle’s and of course the Skyship wasn’t running. So we had to take the Northbrook Quad back to Snowshed. Since the only lift we could see running from the top of Snowshed was the Quad we skied down and got on.  From the chair we could see the Snowshed Quad was running, so we headed down Highlander intending to go around KBL, but low and behold they just reopened Superstar.  We rode up and headed over to Bear.  Thankfully, everything was running over there and we ended up having a nice morning.  But really WTF?  BTW, did several things for the first time today: Lower Dreamaker, the Superpipe, Bear Cub, Sun Dog, and the Sunrise Triple.  I impressed myself in the Superpipe – rode high up the walls six times before gaining so much speed that I got squashed in the transition.
