Killington To Open Saturday, 11/7

[ski diva]

Attention, K-Mart Skiers:

Killington is opening tomorrow.

Here's (part of) what it says in FirstTracksonline:

Skiers and riders will enjoy at least four trails served by two lifts off Killington Peak on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Killington will not operate Monday, November 9 through Friday, Nov. 13. Weather and snow conditions permitting, Killington may re-open on Saturday Nov. 14. Early-season lift tickets are priced at $49 for adults (19-64), $44 for Young Adults (13-18) and Seniors (65-69) and $39 for Juniors (7-12) and Super Seniors (70+).

For opening weekend, skiers and riders will ski on the upper mountain Northridge Area. Ski access to the base of K-1 will be available, however, due to thinner base conditions down low skiers and riders are strongly encouraged to enjoy the Northridge Area and only return to K-1 base when necessary. Some walking will be required on the bottom portion of the mountain. Season pass holders who have not received their passes in the mail, may pick them up at the Snowshed Sales Center beginning at 8 a.m. both Saturday and Sunday.

Killington will offer intermediate and advanced trails only.

Anyone going to do it?

Nope. They are charging the same price as they would for mid-week all day all trails open.

Mt.Snow was open for a couple of days at $10 with the money going to charity.

Okemo opens 11/20 for Facebook friends for $15.

I can't see $49 for 10-3:30 and very little open.

But, I'm on a fixed income!!!!

Bretton Woods in NH is opening tomorrow, too!

I agree with Lilgeorg, that seems a bit pricey for opening conditions.

Guys, whatever -- I haven't skiied since MAY! MAY!!!!!! At this point I would pay $50 to wave my skis in the general direction of snow.

Anyways, it doesn't look like I can talk anyone into heading up this weekend, so I guess I am in the minority.
