POLL:When is Killington's last day of lift served skiing?

[RustyK]

The Bike Park is open Saturdays and Sundays until June 8th when it begins daily operations.

Might have to get some biking in with a Sunday closing.

Also might have to take Monday off...

Inserting this for the record:

SNOW REPORTER'S UPDATE
This weekend will be our final days of skiing and riding for the 2018/19 winter season – the longest ski and ride season in Eastern North America. Thanks to the hard work from our snowmakers early season, grooming team (especially these last few weeks) and the entire mountain operations team all season long, we’ve been able to pull off another beastly winter season here at Killington!

Superstar Express Quad will spin 9am-5pm Friday, May 31 and 8am-5pm Saturday and Sunday, June 1 and 2. Lift tickets will be $30* for all ages each day.

Complimentary commemorative t-shirts will be available to the first 500 guests to load Superstar Express on June 1, and the Roaring Brook Umbrella Bar will feature live music by DJ Dave, free Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream for about 500 people starting at 3pm and an outdoor grill.

Once again, we’re offering up the Beast365 Trial Ticket this weekend giving you access to skiing and riding, biking, golfing and the adventure center for the entire weekend for $102 or less. Guests can then choose to upgrade their trial ticket to the full Beast 365 Pass, which provides unlimited access to the best of Killington all year round. The Beast 365 Pass and other 2019/20 season passes are on sale through June 13.

The groom for Friday has been done. Ski off the top, buttress the bridge at tower 5-6, and leave the rest.

I'll bet it gets more grooming than that before the lift turns again...

I agree, likely more grooming to follow. What did the loading area look like at the end of last weekend? (I last skied Friday) I'm assuming we aren't carrying skis onto the lift tomorrow morning, but think it will make it thru the day? Oh, and buckethead, I believe you mislabeled your June 2017 pictures as 2018 here.

thanks DES, fixed.

well, the big S at bottom is no more. the smaller one higher up should be easy to address next year.
for all the comparisons between last april 20 and this, the sudden loss of K1 terrain etc. it's pretty amazing to be planning one more weekend on the hill and on the road.

After I skied last Friday I went to the beach Sat & Sunday, when I then thought to look at the webcam Monday I was a little surprised how much it melted...glad it won't be "carry the skis on/off" for at least tomorrow morning.

That's pretty deep, I say that lasts at least through the end of the day on Saturday.

I was watching him farm snow from around lower S for the last couple of hours (starting on lower looker's right, then pushing down from just below the break) before she posted the video of him building the ramp.

The ramps melt real fast on a warm day. But he can rebuild it again, if there's enough snow left to farm. We shall see.

I was definitely expecting walk on/off, which would have been fine. But ski on, for even part of the weekend, is a very nice bonus.
