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 th...

Killington, VT - ◊ Superstar Before Memorial Weekend (5-24-24) [4K]
Просмотров 2582 месяца назад
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...
Killington, VT - ◊ Mid-May Superstar (5-17-24) [4K]

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...

Sorry about the color quality - not sure what happened but something got on the lens and I didn't notice it on the screen until a couple days later. My last run in Colorado this season! Bit of irony leading up to this one because I was planning on a nice top-to-bottom run from the top of Lenawee/Beavers but I went down to the bottom of Lenawee at 3:25 and they had already closed it. No hate but...

Sorry about the color quality - not sure what happened but something got on the lens and I didn't notice it on the screen until a couple days later. My final run in the Beavers pod. Probably one of my favorite resort areas ever, up there with Blue Sky Basin in Vail and everything off the Panoramic Express at Winter Park. The endless sea of trees out here draws parallel to Julio/Juanita/Anarchy ...

Sorry about the color quality - not sure what happened but something got on the lens and I didn't notice it on the screen until a couple days later. Not sure about you but I counted 0 cornices.

I was actually looking for "My Chute" which exits onto International, but there's like z...

Sorry about the color quality - not sure what happened but something got on the lens and I didn't notice it on the screen until a couple days later. I'd be lying if I said this didn't feel similar to the neighboring run I had done before this, but I just couldn't get enough of the woods, especially this late in the season! I absolutely adore this area of the resort and this was no exception. I ...

Sorry about the color quality - not sure what happened but something got on the lens and I didn't notice it on the screen until a couple days later. Another nice glade run in what felt like the middle of nowhere! Bighorn is obviously pretty similar to neighboring runs like Todd's Ridge and Dreamcatcher because they are essentially the same patch of trees. But I would never pass up on another ex...

Sorry about the color quality - not sure what happened but something got on the lens and I didn't notice it on the screen until a couple days later. Todd's Ridge is one of several trails that comprise the same (but rather large) stretch of trees in the Beavers area. I've already covered Glockenspiel Glades in arguably much better conditions but who am I to complain about glades open in May? The...

Sorry about the color quality - not sure what happened but something got on the lens and I didn't notice it on the screen until a couple days later. This is a super unique boulder field that can be easily lapped from a major lift! It's not terribly long but makes for a really cool experience, all while being less nerve-racking than a comparable run down something like Devil's Fiddle at Killingt...

Sorry about the color quality - not sure what happened but something got on the lens and I didn't notice it on the screen until a couple days later. Another medley of runs I hadn't gotten around to yet, though I wish I had tried these earlier in the season with actual powder because these don't receive the same crowds as neighboring runs! Oh well, still very nice, especially for May. Definitely...

Sorry about the color quality - not sure what happened but something got on the lens and I didn't notice it on the screen until a couple days later. There's a small selection of trees between East Gully and the Lenawee Express liftline that I hadn't checked out all season, so why not try them now? This wasn't my first run of the day but the ones before were all repeats - it's crazy how much of ...

Sorry for the color quality y'all - not sure what happened but something got on the lens and I didn't notice it on the screen until a couple days later. Sluice Box is another trail that's a bit of a hassle to get to without one of the helper lifts running. Iron Horse and Challenger run sometimes on weekends but not as much as I'd like, and that means I had to take a long traverse to get there i...

Sorry for the color quality y'all - not sure what happened but something got on the lens and I didn't notice it on the screen until a couple days later. There's a pretty nice looking run off the Iron Horse lift with a handful of trees sprinkled across the trail. You can see it from the Sober Englishman traverse if you're getting to Mary Jane from the Gondola. I thought I'd give that one a shot,...

Sorry for the color quality y'all - not sure what happened but something got on the lens and I didn't notice it on the screen until a couple days later. Primrose is drawn in comically bad on the trail map as it's hard to tell if it's an uphill or downhill link between Village Way and Lunch Rock at the top of Mary Jane. The answer is neither! In fact, it bypasses Lunch Rock altogether and makes ...

uh oh. the lift not moving? hehe
wow i really liked this one can't wait for more content from my 3rd favorite skiing showcase channel
wait i know this one
the depths abovbe
noooo delete this people don’t need to know about this area :((
THE SHIP IS HELL 🗣️
ship is nothing compared to the 5 spike cube jumps lol
what's your hardest skiing location right now?
@@vapidf Probably Arapahoe Basin out on Colorado.
wow, good job bram!
I've done the same lol
8 years ago is crazy. Even before 2.1 😭
Wow, that sure is laggy!
rad
Wow The Throne looks like a really cool run.
Bro, you got the shot. All I can do is look back on the season with some sick days, but I missed the last day. Thanks for the 📹
No matter how crowded some days might get these trails are usually empty. You have to have real skills to even get down! Most people go by on launch pad and see the entrance for Anarchy or Julio and say NOPE if they even see them at all.
What. The. Fugg?!?
It’s hard to appreciate just how steep this run is. I hit this mid season on a Capita Mercury and my calf muscles were burning from trying to keep my edge from kicking out!
you can't stop it... behold the... reanimation
Like skiing on Cairngorm in Scotland mid-season...on a good day. 😬
nice job on beating Platinum Adventure (Easy Demon) | By Jerry Bronze V in just over 90 attempts!
Cheap Corps closing early
Quality
Awesome!
It is amazing people where still skiing on June 1. Been there several times on the last weekend. Special times.
Always have liked this run.
Thanks for the video, but what is a headwall?
Headwall sometimes refers to the steeper section at the top of a trail if there is one.
@@Bram4Real Thank you.
the misty trail
Thanks for posting a high quality, high resolution video! Was awesome to watch it on a high quality monitor! I went on 6/1/2019, they had top to bottom, ski on ski off.
That's a pretty steep trail.
Man y’all sure go until the bitter end, huh?
didn't even notice they were DD EX until I read your write up. tbf, part of that is not being/feeling like you're on the top of the world above the tree line. except for the snow having that "spring skiing" sort of mush to it, it looked great. so many wonderful options for bumps out west. could almost never do the same run twice whereas I contented myself lapping the same one or two trails all day in the NE. 😁
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!
gg on somm
What an awesome season they had. I was lucky enough to go 7 weekends in a row. I wished I went back this last weekend to just ride it. End to a great winter at killington.
I guess I'm spoiled out here in Utah, but no way I would hike for that. Is it even fun?
I just spent 4 months in Colorado and can kinda see where you’re coming from haha. But this was pretty early in the season (December pow is almost unheard of out here) and I was just happy to get some natural terrain under my skis. But this probably wouldn’t even have been open in Colorado or Utah.
@@Bram4Real that bottom bobsled section looked sweet, though!
@@Greg41982 Yeah that part rocks! I wouldn’t give the resort too much credit since it’s just left over from the bike park but I’m kinda glad they kept it. You made me watch the video again and it’s crazy how much my skiing has improved since I filmed this. Thanks for watching!
Steep, narrow and boney can be just as much fun as deep powder!
that looks...awful. long sideways traverse to gt to 50'-100' vertical of skiing, and then 2x the traverse on the runout? 😌
It's probably better with actual powder and wax on the skis, in that case the first traverse is more like an actual trail and the runout is pretty scenic.
Looks like very good coverage and deep snow where there still is some. Looking at the webcam rn looks like no snow except for 2 piles.
What a difference from your recent stay in Colorado, eh?
You got me there haha
those big bumps still to stiff to bust through? was really trying to direct you over/through them with the force at one point. 😀
Not too bad, I had shorter skis today so it felt a little easier than the week before.
huh. first DD that had me scratching my head. I guess it's because of the rocks? or b/c it's the bottom of a bunch of steeps?
I think it's the rocks, they might be obligated to mark it as such because of the legal definition of a double diamond in Colorado, so it might qualify from some of the steeper drops. Otherwise it might just be to discourage what would probably be frequent injury from unprepared skiers who might fly through it and go off a low-vis cliff or something lol
Bet those bumps are challenging first thing in the morning!
Yep... one of their longer runs as well!
The coverage this late is phenomenal. And there is literally no one there. Warm temps. Soft snow. No crowds. What is not to like.
Well, I don't like that I had to go back East too soon haha... but yeah, really underestimated how nice late April and May were out there! Plenty of late season snowfall as well
@@Bram4Real was wondering myself if you had just decided to live out there. feels like a month or more of different mountains out west. must've been a killer getaway.
