I laugh at ANYTHING Killington-related. My boyfriend and I have a habit of referring to it as K-Mart. Next time you're up in Vermont, give Sugarbush a try. Or if you're feeling like a longer road trip, Jay Peak. No more of this Killington nonsense. 😉
I found that Tahoe's double blacks (at least at Heavenly and Squaw) were narrower than most. In Utah, there's so much damn snow that nothing's too bad (in my opinion). I mean, you fall and you're cushioned by a huge nest of powder. Unless, of course, there's too MUCH powder... in which case you'll have some issues extracting yourself. When I was out there, not many were open... too MUCH snow, so ski patrol was on avalanche duty. Still, I did find that those that WERE open were more spread out, like you said. I'm thinking specifically of Jupiter Bowl at Park City and the Daly Chutes/Daly Bowl at Deer Valley.
Also, a tip from an East coast-born skier... it usually gets much better in Feb and March! Hopefully the temps will go down, too. I would not be surprised if this January goes down as one of the warmer, if not THE warmest, average in history. Grr! 😡
Any other telemarkers on this thread?
