Killington, VT - ◊ Superstar on Closing Day (6-1-24) [4K]
Well, that was certainly an experience! I missed the opening rush, but I saw some photos of the line from earlier and I don't regret sleeping in. I was lucky that the remaining snow was still continuous since most other years you have to walk between patches toward the bottom of the trail. Still went super cautiously because I kinda want to use these skis again in the future. This was certainly a cool experience and a nice novelty, but I think it's safe to say I won't be doing this again any time soon.
The headwall was obviously a bust as it has on previous closing days, but this was the first time I've noticed them add an alternative way down. Snowcats are usually perched at the top of the headwall with ropes to help climb down, but there was also an alternative, less steep hike to "skier's" right off the lift via Nivis Walk and Launchpad, though it's only a tad shorter than a half a mile so I wouldn't recommend it. Plus, the rope climb is almost like a rite of passage!
Advice: The ropes are quite handy when climbing down to the snow, but I'd recommend going a little further down the snow to a flatter part before attempting to put skis on.
Overall Difficulty: 5/10
Relative Difficulty (Diamond): 5/10
Accessibility Rating: 2/10 (No snow at the top or bottom, requires nasty hike down the headwall or long walk around via Nivis Walk/Launchpad)
Open Trail Index: 10/10 (Jay Peak doesn't even have any snow left dude what do you think)
Enjoyment Rating: 7/10

Killington, VT - ◊ Superstar Before Memorial Weekend (5-24-24) [4K]
มุมมอง 2754 หลายเดือนก่อน
I went back for more a week later and conditions were still pretty good! I mean, you had to take your skis off at the bottom, but that's a small price to pay for some fun this late in the season. They slow the lift quite a bit to allow enough time to load and unload properly which hampered crowd flow a bit but also meant most people had left by 11am. This run was later in the day after pretty m...

The season lives on! This was the last weekend with ski-on/ski-off conditions this season. I was very pleasantly surprised by how much snow was left, especially after a pretty brutal week before this - plus, they were closed by this time in 2021! The late-season dumps certainly helped I guess. This is the first time I've been up to Killington for the ultra-late season so I wasn't sure what to e...

    I took the hike up to the summit to reach the cliffs at the lake chutes. Had fresh powder, it was awesome. My dad didn't want me going too far (yes, I was skiing with my dad, i'm 14). I would reccomend hiking if there is fresh snow. Do you plan on going back this season?

    I agree with your ratings. I usually go down N. Bowl. I didn't know it was rated 2 diamonds. I always gave it one. But difficulty changes as you know. I would never think of going down Keyhole during the late spring (Alpine) when it is narrow and frozen. But mid winter all filled in? Yeah.

      Yeah there's so much variety! I'm kinda the same way out East but I can't tell if that's just because I have incentive to mix it up for recordings purposes. I find that at places like Killington where I've already filmed almost everything I end up doing a lot of repeat laps though. Colorado resorts are just a lot bigger, and since I could only really do day trips out there it made sense to take in as much of each resort as possible. An interesting side note is that A-Basin is considered a small resort by CO standards but it's the same size as Killington and Sugarloaf!
