Default Tuesday at Killington

Tuesday, November 2, 2010, Killington
As an opening day, it couldn't have been better. The weather cooperated,
The crowd was good and tuned into what the drill was. There wasn't a
frown in the place. I didn't hear any raised voices.

The new Peak Walkway is a smashing success. Killington couldn't have
done anything better to make early season skiing and riding more
painless short of restoring the mid-station on the K-chair. If you read
this correctly you'll know that that suggestion is impossible and so the
walkway is the best that can be.

I can only hope that it becomes available again at the end of the season
to make the better terrain and snow conditions available when lower
mountain skiing becomes a slog.

The solutions to trail crossings and other accessibility concerns, like
the Cascade Headwall and Catwalk are spot on. The loss of Heavenly
Traverse should be of little concern as the need for its existence was
eliminated when Canyon Quad was built years ago.

Sounds good, much better than Okemo
