Thank you, I'll be there around 1:45. The weather right now looks sunny and cold. My first time at a get together, looking forward to meeting you fine folks.
Yeah, that liftline could get long. Killington Double Chair mid-station loading. October 31st, 1992. Boomerang, Upper Goat Path and Upper Cascade being the opened trails.
Killington used to download from Killington Peak for early and late season skiing via the double chair. Now it's just a limited time for early season skiing.
Killington 10/31/92:
Sunday River used to download on the Locke Mountain Triple from skiing on T2 before it became TTB skiing later in the season. I also remember downloading at Okemo after skiing upper mountain terrain. But that place requires a shuttle bus after downloading.
Not sure about coast to coast furnace. Ski season started in Lake Tahoe this October. That's only happened 3 times in the last 70 years.
Second snowiest October on record for Donner Summit since 1970

I haven't driven around for foliage since last Friday. Big change in the Oaks. They are now at peak and maybe 10% green. Most of what's green in this first picture is Pine.
Somers, Connecticut with okay Oak colors. In town it's about 20-30% bare. Sad to see the end is near for foliage.
Word is Killington is aiming to open up on 11/5 for pass holders and 11/6 for the general public. That's with terrain in the Glades area. Hate the Northridge name.
I feel for those with damage and no power. Living alone and disabled is hard enough, storm damage is unwanted. Hope all members affected by the storm come out okay.
Connecticut River Death Valley is where big wind, rain and snowfall totals come to die. Works for me, huge Oaks, old roof and house. Don't want any damage while waiting for a place to live.
