Anyone else notice the graph on the SkiVt-L base camp web page is over 100
inches!!

I looked because over the weekend I was riding the woods at Killington and
I had to duck my head in some of my favorite spots.  I normally don't have
to even think about that.  I had to duck because the snow was so deep I was
close to the lower branches of the trees.  They were like different places.

Saturday, I was on the mountain at 10 of 8am.  I went down Escapade, droped
the rock above the SRT and entered the light.  Lots of boot deep pow but
not totally untracked, which I was looking for.  I quickly found that after
I exited the light and crossed cascade and entered the woods.  Perfect - 6
new ontop of who knows how much.

Next was Mississippi Ave.  Untracked but I had to duck in places.  From
there I can't remember.  But lots of woods and lots of untracked.  The snow
was windpacked in spots but very soft overall.

I rode a couple of tree runs I never did before.  The woods off the top of
the Devil's Fiddle trail had perfect tracked uped powder snow.  The only
problem with this run is a seven foot drop about 50 vertical feet into it.

I rode the Devil's Fiddle Lift Line three times on Saurday.  I have never
done that.  There is some pretty uneven terrain under that lift.

I don't remeber riding too many trails except to connect from woods to
woods.  I rode til 3 with only a 15 break for a burito at the Mid station.
At 3 I put on skis for a couple or runs on Snowdon. I was beat!
