The Canadian Rockies are awesome and these guys do a great job of encompassing the whole experience. Here are a few videos they put out recently, also check out their Facebook Fan site.
Well today we got up at 4am and set off to Killington. We heard they got a few inches yesterday and the peak was in the clouds for the whole day. We weren’t expecting much but we got some snow on the drive in and the trails looked pretty well covered. The snow was nice and dry and we finally could skin up.
Here is a teaser…more photos up later tonight.
So Sunday River opened today and they’re the first open on the East Coast 4 seasons in a row. They’re actually the first resort open for the season in the country.
I’m gonna go ahead and assume they opened today just in case some other heavy hitter EC resort opened for tomorrow (cough cough, Killington). So Kmart got swindled but I don’t think they were planning on opening up anyways. More importantly Killington got a pummeling this afternoon for about 2 hours. It looked like they got covered pretty well up top and we’re headed up in a few hours to do a little moonlit skinning.
Enough babble heres some stoke, we’ll have our own posted tomorrow evenin’.
It looks as though Peak Resorts (the company that owns Attitash) has purchased Wildcat Mountain. They mention that passholders will be allowed to ski at either mountain but it wasn’t made clear whether each mountains pass works at the other mountain. It should be interesting to see how this plays out, the ‘cat is over 4,000′ and has 2,100’ vert. They regularly get pummeled by the same storms that crush Mt. Washington. Heres a few news links for the buy-out.
