Friday, November 29, 2013

Thursday, November 28, 2013

Very nice recovery from yesterday's rain.

Monday, November 25, 2013
Day 21 - Killington
Looks and feels like winter. On the hill from 9:00 until 1:45 with an extended KBL coffee break to warm up; sunny and cold with a steady west wind; Snowdon temps: 7° at 9:00, 14° at 1:45; 19 runs; 23,250 vertical; skied the Volkl RaceTiger SL World Cups; very few people on the hill today; not sure I like where my skiing is at right now - hoping some of the upcoming camps will help me figure things out; Superstar Headwall was gnarly today - it kicked my ass the first time I tried it, but I returned a second time and at least came down without losing total control; didn't realize it until I got home and took a shower, but I got frostbite on both cheeks today - below the goggles and above the neck gaitor; GoPro footage - on YouTube.
Friday, November 22, 2013
Day 20 - Killington
On the hill 9:00 to 2:00 with a KBL coffee break; an inch of snow, then rain overnight; total fog and light rain to start - the fog stayed but the rain stopped about 11:00; temp fell to 30° by the time I left; 23 runs; 25,150 vertical; skied the Rossignol Experience 98's; very few people on the hill - too bad because it was pretty good; skied every open trail segment today except Mouse Trap - with just ½ an ounce of forethought I could have gotten it too; Highline and East Fall opened today - East Fall was so good I stayed an extra hour and did it six times; used my new clear goggle lenses today - they worked really well; today's GoPro lesson - you get lots of white-on-white on a foggy day - Highline POV.
Thursday, November 21, 2013
Day 19 - Killington
On the hill from 9:00 until 1:30 with just a quickie KBL coffee break; 30° and sunny with a light breeze; 30 runs – ok, 19 were either the NRT or the Poma, but 30 is still a good number; 23,250 vertical; skied the Atomic GS-12’s; snowmaking on Snowshed was turned off when I left – not sure whether it was temperature related or they’re done; technique conundrum – cross-over vs. early forward pressure on the outside ski with angulation.
Wednesday, November 20, 2013
Day 18 - Killington
Perfect snowmaking weather overnight - cold and still. On the hill from 9:00 until 12:00 with a quick KBL coffee break - cut things short this morning so I could head to the gym this afternoon; started out with brilliant sunshine, by noon things dimmed slightly as some high cirrus clouds rolled in; temps in the twenties; 17 runs; 18,100 vertical; skied the Rossignol Experience 98's; good skiing just about everywhere - Lower Skylark had 15-20 big piles of snow and the picture below shows the big pile at the top of Mouse Trap; did a few in North Ridge before I left - firm, but nice; re-surfacing more or less complete - full on expansion mode in progress, East Fall, Highline, and Snowshed lit top-to-bottom; snow making started in earnest at Pico today - Forty-niner all the way down Lower Pike.
Tuesday, November 19, 2013
Day 17 - Killington
On the hill from 9:00 until 12:45 with an early coffee break in KBL after I got cold hands; a high K-cloud kept the hill overcast while everything else around looked to have a partly cloudy day; large temperature variation today - mid-to-upper twenties at the base and mid-teens up top; 21 runs; 18,750 vertical; skied the Volkl P50 SL Cheaters today for the first time in like ten years; snowmaking returned overnight - resurfacing on Snowdon and Skye with spot guns on Great Northern; a dusting of snow overnight - just enough to hide some of the obstacles; not sure where or when I did it, but I nailed the newly repaired P50's today.
Monday, November 18, 2013
Day 16 - Killington
Despite the warm weather over the weekend and the heavy rain overnight, there was still some good snow to be found today. On the hill from 10:15 until 3:00 with a quick lunch break in KBL; mid-forties with peeks of sunshine through the wind blown overcast; 22 runs; 22,850 vertical; skied the K2 Apache Xplorers; after a couple of hours of sliding around, I found the sweet spot on these skis - ski these things from the front with little to no rotary; the good - good cover remains on Rime and East Fall and some great snow on Skylark-Bittersweet; the bad - it's going to take most of the week to resurface everything; and the ugly - walking required signs on Superstar Headwall and Middle Great Northern.
Friday, November 15, 2013
Day 15 - Killington
A very good day. On the hill from 9:00 until 1:45; substituted a lunch break for the normal KBL coffee break - I wanted to ski as much as I could today, since I won't ski this weekend; temps in the forties with brilliant sunshine all day; 26 runs; 21,750 vertical; started with the Atomic D2 Race GS #1's and finished with the Volkl P60 SC's; skied every open lift and every open trail except FIS and High Traverse; great conditions just about everywhere today - the only exceptions were Lower Skylark (a trillion golf ball sized chucks after it's first grooming of the season) and Lower Chute (a little chunky, but it got skied in a little after a couple of hours); Superstar Headwall opened today to some sweet snowmaking and Upper Chute was a surprise find at the end of the day - so soft and dry, I cut over at the bottom and climbed back to the Poma to get a second shot; I was glad to have another opportunity to ski Volkl P60's - a little soft, but still a super fun ski; more GoPro today - GoPro Test 8.
Thursday, November 14, 2013
Day 14 - Killington
On the hill from 9:00 until 1:00; took a long coffee break waiting for Superstar to open; a cold and breezy 30° day with decreasing overcast; 17 runs; 18,000 vertical; skied the Rossignol Experience 98's; with more lifts and terrain opening there's plenty of room now on the hill; Skye-High-Sweet opened at noon - I was expecting some soft snow, but it ended up being firm and variable; more GoPro today - GoPro Test 7.
Wednesday, November 13, 2013
Day 13 - Killington
On the hill this afternoon after going to the gym this morning. Before you think me too virtuous, let me explain. I need to ski more varied conditions - too many early morning groomers lately, so some afternoon hard pack was in order. On the hill from 12:45 until 4:15 - coincidentally, the same time as KMS - I thought I'd miss them, but no such luck; I caught the last gondi at 3:58; clear and cold (teens) with a stiff breeze - another winter day; skied the Volkl RaceTiger SL World Cups; 21 runs; 15,500 vertical; tons of snowmaking around the mountain - I expect both Superstar and Snowdon tomorrow; some GoPro footage today - GoPro Test 6; I would have more, but I took too long 'hiding' the tripod and some guys skiing by seemed a little too interested in what I was doing.
Tuesday, November 12, 2013
Day 12 - Killington
First winter day of the season. On the hill from 9:00 until 1:15 with just a quick coffee break in KBL; completely overcast; mid-to-upper teens; another inch or two of snow overnight; skied the Atomic GS-12's again today; 28 runs; 19,600 vertical; much better crowd today - other than the initial rush at K-1, no liftlines what so ever; conditions are excellent - good coverage, good grooming, and soft snow; felt much better with the GS-12's today; much more room on the hill today, especially after the KMS kids left for school; KMS kids on their absolute best behavior today; feeling frisky enough to hit the Reason Park twice - obviously no rails or boxes, but I popped off every ramp.
Monday, November 11, 2013
Day 11 - Killington
Big Vetern's Day crowd today. On the hill from 9:00 until 1:15 with a quick coffee break in KBL; upper twenties; mostly cloudy up top, mostly sunny at KBL; 21 runs; 16,900 vertical; skied the newly repaired Atomic GS-12's - they're still a top notch ski; top-to-bottom is finally open, so no more walking the stairs; too many people on the hill today to really open it up with the GS skis; much harder to keep in front of the GS-12's; feeling good, skiing just OK.
Friday, November 8, 2013
Day 10 - Killington
I didn't know Vetern's Day Weekend was a ski holiday. Peak Lodge construction delayed this morning's start until 11:00, so I joined Susan and Jay in KBL for a coffee. Ok, Jay and I had a couple of beers, but whatever. So, we were on the hill for a couple of hours starting at 11:00; mid-twenties with light snow falling; 9 runs; 5,400 vertical; huge crowd for an early season Friday - 4-5 minute lift lines everytime; skied the Volkl RaceTiger SL World Cups; nice recovery from yesterday's rain - frozen granular, but it didn't seem to get too scraped off or sugary; today's revelation - keep thinking macro view and add a light touch - don't tense the legs while edging - if the transition is timed correctly and everything is stacked, a light touch will grip and turn much smoother.
Thursday, November 7, 2013
Day 9 - Killington
Amazed at the number of people stupid enough to join me this morning skiing in a driving rainstorm! On the hill for a couple of hours starting right at 9:00; the weather was, as previously stated, warm and rainy with a stout breeze from the SW; soft snow where they had groomed (Great Northern, Rime, Upper East Fall), skiable moonscape where they had not (Upper Double Dipper); coverage remains good - just a few thin spots on Great Northern and on the sides of the main trails; 13 runs; 7,750 vertical; skied the K2 Apache Xplorers; even in the soft snow the K2's aren't working well any more - I guess they're relegated to 'early season tree ski' status from now on; I'm feeling pretty good, although my left calf tightened up a little last night so I'm going to the gym this afternoon for a light streaching session; more GoPro testing today - GoPro Test 5.
Wednesday, November 6, 2013
Day 8 - Killington
Another glorious day on the hill! Out for about 3½ hours starting right at 9:00; light winds and overcast skies gave way to brilliant sunshine almost immediately; upper thirties to start, probably mid-to-upper forties by the time I left; carvers paradise today - super soft, smooth, and cutable; 21 runs; 12,500 vertical; skied the Head i.Speed GS Cheaters again today; as the run counts over the past few days attest, I'm feeling pretty good physically and I'm skiing adequately enough given the time of year; I plan on stepping things up next week - GS skis, bigger angles, and higher speeds; more GoPro testing this morning - GoPro Test 4.
Tuesday, November 5, 2013
Day 7 - Killington
Another day in paradise! Out for almost 4 hours starting at 9:00; brilliant sunshine with very little wind; upper twenties to start, mid-thirties to finish; 24 runs; 14,250 vertical; skied the Head i.Speed GS Cheater 17's; they groomed in yesterday's snowmaking and continued to make snow on top into mid-morning when the temps rose above freezing, making for another day of marvelous soft snow conditions; fairly large crowd today - 25 to 75 person lift line most of the morning; prevented a potential disaster this morning, when I noticed that the GoPro mount I was about to use was broken - having it fail and loosing my new GoPro would have sucked big time; had the opportunity to make a run directly behind CM this morning - for a downhiller she's mighty quick on the short boards; walked up the stairs and rode down the K-1 with DT today, he rode his motorcycle to the hill to go skiing today - he's crazy!
Monday, November 4, 2013
Day 6 - Killington
What a great day to be alive - or at least a skier and at Killington. On the hill for 3¼ hours starting right at 9:00; low twenties to start; upper twenties to finish; crystal clear skies and little to no wind; skied the Rossignol Avenger 76 Ti's again today; 20 runs; 11,900 vertical; snowmaking on everything that was open; the snow was marvelous today - soft and dry; the bumps on Upper East Fall were of particular note; skied most of the morning with Mickey Cahill; despite all the snowmaking and good coverage, I nailed my skis pretty good on Upper East Fall; GoPro testing continues - GoPro Test 3.
Sunday, November 3, 2013
Day 5 - Killington
On the hill for an hour and a half this afternoon starting at 2:00; 25° and sunny with almost no wind; skied the Rossignol Avenger 76 Ti's; 9 runs; 5,350 vertical; frozen granula scraped into piles of sugar; lots of people still on the hill when I got there, but it cleared out to almost nothing by the time I left; forgot my googles today; passed two people on the stairs today; more GoPro testing today - GoPro Test 2.
Thursday, October 31, 2013
Day 4 - Killington
What a fantastic day - it may have been the best October day ever! Arrived early only to be greeted with yet another hold. It ended up only being 15 minutes, but still... On the hill from 9:15 until 1:00; totally overcast and windy with some rain from 11:00 until 11:30 and then again as I was leaving; mid-thirties to start, mid-forties to finish; futzing with my GoPro app screwed up today's Ski Tracks so I'll have to estimate 25 runs and 14,750 vertical; skied the Head i.Speed GS Cheater 17's - what an unbelievably fun ski; the snow was fantastic - great cover, groomed smooth edge-to-edge, and as soft as a baby's butt; almost left when it started to rain, but ended up being rewarded when all the people left and then it stopped; with heavy rain in the forecast for tomorrow, I skied just about as long as I could today; picked up my new Head i.Speed GS Cheater 19's on the way home today; took the GoPro out for a little test run this morning - shot about 80 minutes - GoPro Test 1.
Wednesday, October 30, 2013
Day 3 - Killington
I woke up this morning to the first snowfall of the season. Although it was only an inch, things sure look a lot more like winter. On the hill for 2½ hours - from 9:00 till 11;30; a heavy overcast at the start gave way to gradual clearing; temps in the upper twenties; skied the Rossignol Experience 98's; 14 runs; 8,300 vertical; snowmaking continues all over the upper mountain; the snow was a little heavy and sticky to start, but as they turned off the guns on Rime and things got skied in it actually became quite good; took my first fall of the season today on Upper Double Dipper - a rather loud affair that got me no less than five, "Are you Ok's" from passersby - don't worry, nothing hurt but my pride; my legs were very tired today; still looking for the first opportunity to use my GoPro.
Tuesday, October 29, 2013
Day 2 - Killington
Got to the hill right at 9:00, but a mechanical problem delayed opening until 10:15; brilliant sunshine today with no wind; teens overnight; low twenties to start; mid thirties when I left; 2½ hours today - 10:15 until 12:45; 14 runs; 8,300 vertical; skied the Rossignol Experience 98's; snowmaking galore today; with the warming temps and on-going snowmaking conditions were all over the place; not sure whether it was the sunshine or the snowmaking, but the hill looked much better today; skied Downdraft Headwall first thing - extremely good - I'm not sure it will get any better all year; legs still feel pretty good, but my right shin is a little tender - I think I'll try a little strategic padding tomorrow.
Monday, October 28, 2013
Day 1 - Killington
Late start this morning after arriving last night and unpacking until 2 AM; out for 2½ hours from 10:30 till 1:00; skied the Volkl RaceTiger SL Cheaters; mid-thirties, increasing overcast, and windy; no snowmaking this morning - I guess they're expecting some warmer weather to move in; 16 runs; 9,500 vertical; fairly good coverage; variable conditions from hard pack to super soft snowmaking; Great Northern around to most of the Northridge area; lots of familiar faces: Jim, Bob, Ric, Rick, Barb, Chelsea, and Dave; my legs feel pretty good after a fairly agressive start to the season.

Just can't help myself. I went to the hill this morning thinking I'd just do a run or two to 'get the day', but with 3" wet snow overnight I ended up staying for a couple of hours. It started raining as soon as I got home. With today's rain and a hard overnight freeze forcast, I'm going to skip tomorrow.

Out for a couple of hours to reacquaint myself with the snow. Skied the K2 Apache Xplorer's; Got to ski Lower Ovation today for the first time since sometime in the spring of 2011; After all the rain and warm weather the hill looks like shit.
