Day 116 - Killington

That’s it – I’m done! So much for that season – plenty of days, just very few good ones; On the hill today at 10:00; parked on the Access Road; skied the Volkl Katanas; 35° and mostly cloudy; Skyesweet was the only thing groomed and it was in excellent shape; my left knee is really hurting.

Day 113 - Killington

On the hill at 10:00; parked on the Access Road; skied the Volkl RaceTiger SL Cheaters; 30° and partly cloudy; they groomed a little too deep last night, so although conditions were very good for the first few runs it cut-up pretty quickly; very crowded today, so I did a few quick runs and left.

On the hill at 10:00; parked on the Access Road; skied the Atomic D2 Race GS #2’s; 29° and overcast with intermittent light flurries, enough snow overnight that I had to scrape the windshield this morning; despite the flat light, another stellar day on the glacier; by the time I left the sugar piled up a little bit at the bottom, but not a problem.
