Hi Everyone,

We will finally be meeting at our usual spot at the top of the A quad, and following our normal routine for the remainder of the season. the skiing and the weather seems to be straitening itself out, the mountain has opened a few top to bottom runs to alleviate the crowds that some of us experienced last weekend.

12/17 9-11, 12-2
12/18 9-11, 12-2

B mogul
Although Killington is semi confident as of today they will be able to pull of the B central opener this weekend we will not be attending the event.
