Ow snowboarding hurts my ass. NEVER AGAIN!!!
I am all about the planks. But I like the little stubby ones for backcountry skiing. I have 3 pairs of skis... my short, wide 'rock skis' that I took with me to Alaska along with a pair of snowshoes, some longer, less shaped Fischers that I bring when I know the trails are going to be well-groomed, and an inbetween pair of MadTrix for pretty much the rest of the time.
Yeah killington is MAD touristy and the thing that makes me maddest is that to keep up with keeping snow onthe trails, they make snow DURING THE DAY on open trails! It's like a 20 degree car wash.
No thanx.
Okemo is much more considerate IMO. They avoid blowing snow during the day, and never on open trails.
